Roy Halladay at a cross roads

Roy Halladay who turned 36 years old today is a cross roads in his major league baseball career and will go under the knife tomorrow to remove bone spurs along with a frayed labrum along with partially torn rotator cuff in his pitching shoulder. He will be trying to get back from this this season and with his hard work ethics and will do everything in his powers to do so. Ry Halladay has 201 wins in his career and is 99 away from that magical number of 300 wins and what looked like a good shot to get to that number and maybe become one of the last 300 winner is looking more like a distant fog with no end in sight. So the reality is that he will need to find Roger Clemons fountain of youth because he will need at least 6 solid seasons of 15-17 wins and it will take him into his mid-forties and all that is not a guarantee at all as players break more the older they get. With the more pitchers starting with 5 and 6 man rotations it will be much harder year after year with 6 or 7 inning outings and putting your victories in the hands of the bullpen it diffidently get harder season after season to reach that number. Now with pitchers going down on a regular basis and teams babying their pitchers a consent 15-17 game winner not be easy to find and it would take almost 20 seasons at that pace to get there. But if anyone can find that fountain it is the good doctor Tom Mehegan
