The 2nd Last 300 Game Winner ever?

Granted. All this talk of Mark Buerhle has arose simply because of his Perfect Game, but it has certainly opened my eyes.

Mark Buerhle is the stereotypical workhorse pitcher. AND he's left handed. Going into the end of his 9th season in the majors, he has averaged about 15 wins a season, and is well on pace for another. at the moment, he is at 133 wins for his career.

You may be asking yourself at this point "what's your freaking point?"

My point is, when Randy Johnson got his 300th win earlier this season, the vast majority of the sporting world declared him as the last 300 game winner ever. EVER.

Who knew that the next 300 game winner could come within the next 10 years? Mark Buerhle could be that man, people.

Think about it: he is a left-handed finesse pitcher. If he can stay in the game for a Jamie Moyer type career (and he is a Jamie Moyer type pitcher), he could be very close to 300 by that time. 

I would be one to argue that Buerhle has been one of the most consistent pitchers in the major leagues over the last 10 years. I am saying that Buerhle isn't the type of pitcher to lose a vast amount of velocity or anything over the years because he's only a low-90s pitcher.

Someone with the consistency, the finesse, and the left-handedness of Buerhle should automatically put into consideration for a long career, and a chance at the 300 mark.

He is certainly the most likely case I can find in MLB today.
