I don't think I'd put money on any of them reaching 3000. I'd say Cano, Altuve, Freeman, Machado, and Trout are the only ones that have a reasonable chance at all. It all comes down to who can stay healthy, and who's willing to stick around a few years after their prime to compile the numbers.

Fangraphs had a good article on this last fall:

They have Altuve, Freeman, and Tatis Jr. as the three most likely

Could Stan Ross (Bernie Mac, Mr. 3000) come out of retirement and get one more?? :)

Trout will probably retire after his contract is up, He'll be 38 after all...
