If Pedro wins 6 more games this year he would still need 116 more wins for 300, if he gets there he certainly will have 4,000 K's. If he plays for 8 more years, that would only be an average of 14.5 wins per year which seems possible. He would have to average a little over 16.5 wins per year to do it in 7 years which seems unlikely to me. His next contract will probably have a lot to do with it. If he signs for 4 or 5 years @ $15,000,000 per year, he might well want to spend the rest of his time in a less stressfull environment, rather than signing up for another 3 to 4 years and mastering another pitch to win with, because there is no way he will be able to pitch like Randy Johnson @ 40 years old. I think Johnson will pitch for 3 or 4 more years and make it to 300 and maybe 5,000 K's, but not with the D'backs.
