....on the ACTIVE hits list

Jeter stands at 2778 passing Jr at 2776


Jeter is going to end with a big big number

He is going to end up extremely close to 3000 this season. Has a chance for 3000 on this date next year!

If he stays hot he could get there by this time next year......but that is a lot of hits.....even for Jeter.

I'll guess May 28th 2011

A lot of possible 3,000 hit guys still playing.

Jeter....no doubt

Arod....all but definite (though Robbie Alomar was about where he was at this age as well)

Pudge......I won't be surprised if he makes it.....but probably about 25% chance still

Manny if he wanted to....but I don't think he'll play long enough

Damon.....don't be surprised if Johnny Damon makes it...he's a determined guy that understands significant stats

Renteria.....I'll give him less than a 20% chance...but he just keeps on going along

Pujols....barring injury...no doubt

Ichiro.....he didn't get here until he was 27......but I bet he gets very close

Carl Crawford.....a lot of hits every year and a special athlete......a long way to go....but on the very early radar

others....well anyone up by age 22 that gets 185-190 hits a year and stays healthy and does it for a LONG time

throw Miguel Cabrera on the list with Manny

put themselves on pace thru their early years......David Wright and Jose Reyes

I was gonna add Miggy to your list when I saw the next post lol.

Justin Upton, if he reaches potential he showed last year, can make it. I think he is like 22 right now and this is his 3rd full year.

Although, along with Upton, you can throw in a ton of guys like that. Its just so young to predict.

Congratulations to Derek Jeter on his accomplishment. He will have a ton of hits if he stays healthy or doesn't get tired of the grind.

Griffey would have been the goat

...not in hits

Griffey getting hurt was the most disappointing thing ever.

players get hurt.....but he simply could not recover and just kept getting hurt

Yeah griffey would of been the GOAT barring injuries. Easily

barring normal injuries Griffey right now would be around:

3,000 games
1950 runs
3200 hits
2075 RBI
5900 Total Bases
720 HR

15 all-star games
12 gold gloves
1 MVP
0 Championships

Few love Griffey as much as I do and no one on here wanted him on the Reds more than me....and those would be numbers....WOW.....but not GOAT.

Who has better numbers than that and not linked to steroids? (Not being a smartass, just dont follow baseball THAT closely)

Hank Aaron is the first off the top of my head.

There's one fat guy who played 90 years ago and has as many career shutouts as Roy Halladay....he's got better numbers for sure

I gave Griffey's best numbers using all numbers and all items you could argue many players (and I'll leave off a few) Ruth, Gehrig, Mays, Aaron, Cobb.

Santa Claus?

lol

griffey would be the best since mays for sure. hard to compare guys that far apart.

until Pujols winds it up

Lets not forget, that in his time, Griffey was the best defensive outfielder around as well.

Jeter's above average defensively, at best.

Jeter also has 5 rings though

Understand that baseball is a team sport, but he's been the most valuable Yankee since 1996.

That's basically a two-man race for "most valuable Yankee since 1996", and I'd still take Rivera every day of the week.

It is a 2 man race for MVY since '96, and they both have their own claims to fame in October

One things for certain, Jeter leads Griffey in the amount of quality tail he has gotten!

the would be 12 gold gloves explains the defensive ability of JR.
