Too old or too disinterested or just plain not savvy enough to get this information into the comment string, here is a quick look at some pitchers who threw roughly the same amount of innings between ages 24 and 31 (since 1980) and what they did from age 32 on.

Drabek is actually number ten on most innings pitched between ages 24 and 31 (again, since 1980). Above him are Frank Viola, Greg Maddux, Roger Clemens, Dave Stieb, Mark Langston, Mike Moore, Livan Hernandez, C.C. Sabathia and Jack Morris.
Working down from Kevin Brown, you find the likes of: Andy Benes, Bruce Hurst, Mike Hampton, Jimmy Key and our old friend Jeff Suppan, not to mention Pedro Martinez and Andy Pettitte.
Take it for what it's worth, but just another sampling of data as you contemplate spending your millions.
