We'll see with Johnson. When he was healthy, he had the stuff to win at least 16 this season. If he's healthy all next season I can see him doing it. I think if he ends up with 10 wins next year he'd be really tempted to do it for one more year.
I think it is ridiculous to think that nobody will hit 300 again. Look at the guys who recently did it (Clemens, Maddux, Glavine) and Johnson (who might). Johnson never made more than 35 starts in a season he had major injuries that took nearly entire seasons away and only had 68 wins prior to turning 30.
Maddux had 2 seasons where he started 36 and one where he started 37. Glavine had 2 seasons where he started 36. Clemens had one season where he started 36.
