We had one player in Craig Biggio to hit the magical number of 3000 hits for his career in 2007.

Barry Bonds will be the next player to reach that lofty number in 2008 as he finished the 2007 MLB season with 2935 hits. That's if some MLB team signs him for the season.

Derek Jeter is the next player after Barry Bonds to come to the 3000 hit plateau, currently sitting at 2356 career hits.

Alex Rodriguez is also approaching the 3000 hit mark for his career, currently sitting at 2250 career hits. At a season average (per 162 games played) of 191 hits, it will probably be only 4 years until he collects his 3000 MLB hit.

As both Rodriguez and Jeter are in the prime of their careers so they should both hit the 3000 hit plateau with ease.
