Reyes homered on Felix's first pitch of the game last night. Wants to win this poll bad.

have you used BJ's old Favorite Toy formula to project their career totals? Maybe easier at the end of this season.

I went ahead and tried anyway--Ramirez is day-to-day right now, the other two are playing, so I gave them all 40 games the rest of the year at their current BA. (Obviously optimistic for Ramirez.) I just wanted to see their chances at 3,000.

After getting halfway, I found an online calculator that does everything for you:

So: Reyes is 13% to reach to 3,000, the other two guys are at 0%. Ramirez and Tulowitzki's chances plummet because of injuries and low "established hit level"s; Reyes, because he should squeeze out 110-120 hits this season, and because his big injury year (2009) doesn't figure into his established hit level, makes out okay.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

one month passes...

Hanley is 4-4 today with a home run. He'll get at least one more AB, but right now, in only 315 PA, he's at .352/.404/.659, with 19 HR, 62 runs, 57 RBI, and, the really impressive part, a WAR that should be up to 5.4 or 5.5 by tomorrow.
