Last year had so many amazing milestones and records broken, what are some that we will see this year or are upcoming?
Here are some I can think of:
Carl Crawford 1000 hits. Not an amazing milestone but for someone his age it's a great one and he's only 6 away now.
Chipper Jones 400 HRs. This will put him at 43rd on the all time list, passing Al Kaline.
Junior Griffey 600 HRs. He's at 593 right now so this one should happen within a month or two.
Johan Santana 100 Ws. FSN showed him at 94 for his career and I was surprised he had this few. Too bad 95 won't be coming on Sunday....
John Smoltz 3000 K's. Only needs 25 more to reach this magic number. He won't pass anybody, and will remain in 16th all time, but by the end of the year he COULD pass Bob Gibson, Curt Schilling, and Pedro since the latter of the two are injured. This would bring him up to 13th place about 80 behind Fergie Jenkins.
Can anyone think of some others?

Cant wait for Manny to break 500! I'm guessing mid-june....
ESPN Milestone Tracker
“Stadiums of fans remain emotionally connected to the home run, the moment of impact, its immediate influence on a game, the glory of 420 feet of bang and flight. They like the home run. But, perhaps, they have cooled on the notion of the amassment of home runs, no matter who holds the bat. We still appreciate the singular drama, but have turned on the gluttonous bulk, the process of sorting the real from the enhanced.”
