Glavine has 275 wins so far and was considered likely to eventually reach 300 wins as recently as 2002, but he has had a couple of losing seasons since then and reaching it is now considered somewhat of a longshot.

 Re-Examining 300 -- The Hardball Times
Maddux is in his 19th season, he's had 15 or more wins in every season except his first two, he's thrown 200+ innings in 15 of his last 16 years, and he has a.637 career winning percentage.
All of which is very a long way of saying that I think the "standard" of 300 wins being greatness (or an automatic ticket to the Hall of Fame) for a pitcher probably needs to be re-examined.
Dontrelle Willis has 21 wins already, which puts him ahead of the pace of the 300-win threesome, who had an average of 19 wins at the end of their age-22 season.
