The text is very poorly organized and makes it difficult to read.
The Note about doctoring the ball being illegal is true but is not relevant. Taking steroids is illegal should a note added about that. What about amphetamines and other items. I recommend the Notes section just be removed.
Glavine was a member of the NY Mets when he achieved his 300 wins. I will update the page accordingly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.65.149.55 ( talk) 12:10, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
As Glavine has been released, I'm taking him off the boldface for active players. He's currently inactive, as he's not under contract to any team in professional baseball. 216.121.141.237 ( talk) 00:09, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
I added a few sentences in the beginning of the article in an attempt to impart the significance of 300 wins. I think it may be obvious to lifetime baseball fans (such as myself) but not nearly as much to casual or non-fans. I would even suggest having a separate section discussing the significance.
Another observation, I think the discussion of recent/future additions could be better worded and/or expanded (for example, there are advantages that modern pitchers have, such as a conditioning), but I don't want to redo the whole article unilaterally. Thoughts?-- Cms479 ( talk) 20:34, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
Can somebody add John Smoltz to the closest active players, he has 210 wins and is closer than Pedro Martinez is. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.29.170.120 ( talk) 14:30, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
Pedro and John Smoltz have the same number of wins but since Smoltz is much older and out for the season with an arm problem, Pedro should go before him. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.197.70.245 ( talk) 00:16, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
If nobody objects I will add few sentences saying the only people who have a legitimate shot at 300 wins in the near future would be Randy Johnson and Pedro Martinez. Randy because he is close and Pedro because he is much younger than the others. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.197.70.245 ( talk) 00:20, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
I see somebody objects with Smoltz and Pedro on the list of people closing in to 300. If Pedro can stay healthy, plays for a good team, he has a good shot at 300. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.197.70.245 ( talk) 02:45, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
Yes 210 wins is not enough to be on the page for close players. Speculation on who is good is not part of an encyclopedia. The limit should be 250. Moyer should be removed until he gets over 250. Pedro has several years on the other players but speculation on what will happen or how good some is immaterial. I feel that 250 should be the limit and remove players (Moyer) until they reach that minor milestone. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.197.69.97 ( talk) 20:32, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
The team listed on the page appears to be the last team the pitcher was with, an odd choice. Randy Johnson is listed as a SF Giant, where he won 8 games. Maddux was 194-88 for the Braves, yet he's listed as a Cub, where he was 133-112. Clemens won 192 for Boston, but he's listed as a Yankee, where he won 83. The better policy would be to list either the team for whom he won the most games, or the team he entered the Hall of Fame under, if that is different. Johnson won 130 for Seattle and 118 for Arizona, so that is a close call, but listing him as a Giant is ridiculous. Laszlo Panaflex ( talk) 01:38, 22 July 2013 (UTC)
