Who can reach the 3000 Hit club?

hofautos · Feb 22, 2010

This club seems to be diminishing...who can make it?

These are the players over 2000 Hits. I am thinking that many players that take care of their bodies can play until 42, granted they will get less playing time and their numbers will continue to lessen, but think there will be some of these on this list like OMAR that will play over 42 as well.

Griffey
Jeter
IROD
Omar
Sheffield
Abreau
Damon
AROD
Garret Anderson
Manny
Chipper
Vlad
Edgar Renteria
Helton
Kendall
Durham

Put your Y/N's next to the players and add your own...

shame on you for not listing this guy:

I agree with the rest of the people. Ichiro will reach 3,000 hits. He is always healthy and is in great shape. I feel he would be one of the few people who can actually perform at the major league level past age 42.

Plus he's a hitting machine.

Actually, I didn't overlook him, i consider him having over 3000 hits already.

carrsallstars · Feb 22, 2010

Yes from your list: Jeter and Arod

Other Yes: Pujols, Carl Crawford.

Other maybe: Miguel Cabrera, Mark Teixieira

hofautos · Feb 23, 2010

I don't know which 2, but I am convinced that besides arod and jeter, at least 2 more players from my list will surprise us and make it to 3000!

Won't it be fun to watch Joe Mauer work his way towards 3,000 in a few years? Way too early to say he will do it, but still...

I believe Jeter could make it to 4,000.

Otherwise, ARod, and Ichiro are the only other ones on the list who will Make it--yes, even Albert will fall short.

Agreed. With Bonds retired, Pujols is the most feared hitter in baseball (with A-Rod in close second). He'll draw a lot of walks (and intentional walks) and will hinder his chances at 3k hits.

I agree with everything here too. I do beleive Johnny Damon can make it to 3,000 isn't ge sitting at over 2,400 right now. Sure he's 36 but if he can have decent hitting years for the next 3-5 seasons, he'll get close. I really hope Helton will, because I feel he's been overlooked for too long

How about Justin Upton?

+1, I think damon will do it. He is still in great shape and putting up the hits. He has a good work-out ethic...who else will make it if they can continue to put up the numbers to age 40+.

Pujols is at 1717 hits he has a decent chance
9 more years at 185 hits and he will make it give or take a few
Career 334 hitter

sheetskout · Feb 23, 2010

Ryan Braun

Carlos Lee is on pace for 3,000 hits at age 40.

VizquelCollector.com · Feb 23, 2010

I don't think Omar will make it, unfortunately. He'll be 43 years old and sitting right about 2,700 hits. Although he's still solid defensively (no errors at 2B, SS, and 3B last year in 62 games), he's in a utility role. If he was only 100-125 hits shy, I'd say he's got a legitimate shot. At 300 hits short, he'd have to perform way about expectations for at least two full seasons and more realistically three more. It's just not realistic to think he'd be able to get the at-bats, stay healthy, hit for average, and actually win a job as a starting SS at 44 or 45 years old.

I think it's more likely he finishes around 1,775 if this is his last year. If he's lucky to play in 2011, maybe he hits 1,850.
