So I'd say 2000 hits, 170-200 wins, 300 HR. Not sure about saves as I'm used to change my closer every couple of seasons, but I guess 400 saves should be good enough.

SB on the other hand I'd say 1000, because those numbers appear to be higher on Broken Bat. My reasoning for hits is a guy like Booker Barber, who played for my organisation long before I took over. Best part of 14 complete seasons from age 25-38 (a long Broken Bat career, I'd say), played over 2000 games with over 6800 AB, and batted .281 - which was good for 1919 hits. Therefore I'd say 2000 is very tough to reach.
