Upcoming 2009 Milestones

With the season fast approaching and the Rockies one year older the individual players are beginning to reach some "milestones". Most of the players are young and still have plenty of time reach higher numbers and show that they did something for the Rockies and baseball if they ever move on. Here are some of the "milestones" the players are reaching and where they are now:
|
Player |
Milestone |
Current |
|
Huston Street |
100 saves |
94 saves |
|
Manny Corpas |
50 saves |
23 saves |
|
Aaron Cook* |
59 wins |
52 wins |
|
Chris Iannetta |
50 home runs |
24 home runs |
|
Garrett Atkins |
100 home runs |
89 home runs |
|
Garrett Atkins |
500 RBI |
431 RBI |
|
Troy Tulowitzki |
50 home runs |
33 home runs |
|
Troy Tulowitzki |
200 RBI |
151 RBI |
|
Brad Hawpe |
100 home runs |
88 home runs |
|
Brad Hawpe |
400 RBI |
341 RBI |
|
Todd Helton |
2000 hits |
1957 hits |
|
Todd Helton |
500 doubles |
471 doubles |
|
Todd Helton |
1200 RBI |
1116 RBI |
I think all of these can be reached this year but then the question becomes, WHEN? The MLB website has a milestone tracker but the only Rockies player it has listed is Todd Helton, with projected dates of: May 22, for 2000 hits; August 23, for 500 doubles; and he won't get his 1200 RBI this year. When do you think these will occur? Are the projections for Mr. Helton accurate or will he play like he has all spring and beat these projections a lot faster?

Yes
Jason Jennings and Pedro Astacio are 1-2 in franchise wins with 58 and 53. That means Aaron Cook can move into a tie for 2nd place on April 6!

Jennings
ESPN has him at 58 wins also
Some hope?

But 59 would give him the record outright

Yea
But a win on the 6th wouldn’t give him 2nd place
Some hope?

Nope but a tie,
he will just have to win Saturday the 11th too to be the sole possessor of second.

That is what I am saying
Jennings, according to ESPN, has 58 wins as a Rockie too. Not 53
Some hope?

That's what I'm saying too ;-)
Jennings has 58 and Astacio has 53. So Cook’s next win ties him with Astacio for second, behind JJ.

More on Cook
Aaron Cook needs just 11.1 IP, 159 faced batters, 18 starts, 50 ER allowed, 7 complete games and 15 losses to become the franchise leader in those stats as well. He should attain all of those except losses and CGs this year. And he’s already tops in hits allowed, win %age, ERA, ERA+, BB/9IP and sacrifices.
Also…Brian Fuentes would have been the appearances leader with 44 this year.

Funny
This has been nominated as a recommended post but it has failed to do anything but show that Aaron Cook will get more than 6 wins this year barring injury.
When do you think these milestones will be reached? My projections:
Helton gets 2000 hits on or by Mother’s Day
Helton’s RBI and Doubles are going to occur by mid August
Cook gets his franchise lead in wins by the beginning of June
Atkins and Tulo have their RBI totals before the trade deadline and the home runs by the beginning of September
If Street wins the closers role he has 100 saves before April 21
Hawpe hits his ’stones before the all-star break

What about these other milestones you forgot?
Rox Girl- Will tick off a national baseball writer at some point this season, and lose a bet to the ’Pit.
Russ- Will pass 11,000 comments and explain the effect of anarchism on early 20th century America.
Silverblood- Will completely give up on the Rockies this year, only to return a week later.

Here's one for me:
I will join only 1-10 game threads all year long, contributing a quarter of the posts in the game thread while alienating everybody else, and then proceed to disappear into obscurity for the next month.
Oh wait, these are future milestones. My bad.

Who did you alienate?
And…ahem…. I’m still waiting on my season desktop calendar.
"Never fall in or out of love too early in the Spring." ~ Tony La Russa
It just seems
that whenever I go into a Game Thread, I end up making such a high percentage of the posts that everybody leaves/shuts up, and I end up talking to myself. I’m like Russ but with less nerdy tenacity.
And I have until April 6th, thankyouverymuch, and I intend to use each of those extra days. So :P .

I'll pass 11K comments today if I'm
garrulous in today’s game thread, but I’m not so about explaining the effects of anarchism on early 20th century America.

Purple Row - Covering all your Rockies needs!
Congratulations on your garrulousness..
I knew I should have chosen, “Out of control Star Wars rant.” Instead of anarchism.
"Never fall in or out of love too early in the Spring." ~ Tony La Russa
DbacksSkins- Will finally do something to get banned by Russ.
Insert witty and/or humorous signature here.
It's coming.
But don’t worry, it’ll be temporary.

Purple Row - Covering all your Rockies needs!
Damn straight.
I’m not joking.

You speak
as if you have me scheduled to be banned, or something.

That would actually be
quite epic. I’d love seeing that headline flash up all around SBNation:
THE HOLY LANDS HAVE BEEN CLEANSED
by Russ.

Aww, no,
we love you. We love you so much, that we’re going to ban you.

It's for your own good.
Really, you’ll thank us later!

Helton 2000 hits
The projected day of May 22 would be cool. since it’s my birthday.
Hopefully CDI gets to the 50 HR milestone by, say, July :)
New Milestone
When does Dexter Fowler hit his first Inside the Park Home run?
I think he does this on Father’s Day.
"A great catch is like watching girls go by; the last one you see is always the prettiest." ~Bob Gibson
JFK
A new milestone
I will actually particpate in some good discussions on game threads and not end up talking to myself.
Please?
Some hope?
I have that problem.....
:-(
That, and not having any idea what clothes go with what other clothes. So I always look like a fool.

This seems to have turned into New Year's Resolutions
Except it’s New Season
Follow me on Twitter! http://www.twitter.com/rockiesmagicnum - But be warned I only actually "tweet" every....well, not often.
This is how my life works actually...
This is the end of AR 16, and in a couple of days we will start AR 17… the countdown’s on the front page if you haven’t noticed. I think people should consider themselves lucky I don’t sign legal documents that way.
