MLB: Has there ever been a team with 3 pitchers with 15 wins in a season?

Question

If so, please tell me the team and the year it happened.

I meant to add a catch: the team didn't make the playoffs.

Answer 1

The last team to not make the playoffs despite three 15-game winners was the 2005 Indians.

Cliff Lee won 18, with Jake Westbrook and Sabathia both winning 15 games. The Indians, however, finished second to the Twins and lost out in the wildcard race.

Answer 2

There have been a lot. The 2005 Cardinals had 3 and 2 more that narrowly missed. Most teams that win around 100 games would have at least that many.

Answer 3

Yes, oodles. The most recent was in 2006:

NY Yankees -- Wang 19, Johnson 17, Mussina 15.

The 1920 Chicago White Sox had four pitchers who each won 21 or more.

Answer 4

In 1971, the Baltimore Orioles had FOUR pitchers with 20 or more wins: Jim Palmer, Mike Cuellar, Dave McNally and Pat Dobson. And they still lost the World Series to the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Answer 5

there is others. 1969 Chicago Cubs -- Jenkins 21, palms 20, Holtzman 17. 1972 Baltimore Orioles -- Palmer 21, Cuellar 18, Dobson sixteen. 1973 la Dodgers -- Sutton 18, Osteen sixteen, John sixteen. 1974 Atlanta Braves -- P.Niekro 20, Morton sixteen, Capra sixteen. 2003 Seattle Mariners -- Moyer 21, Pineiro sixteen, Meche 15. i did no longer seem back till now divisional play began (1969), i became nowhere close to finished, and that i gave up after compiling this record, so there could be greater accessible.

Answer 6

If Dice-K gets 2 more wins this season the Red Sox will this year with him, Beckett, & Wakefield.

The A's in 2002 did also with Zito, Mulder, & Hudson.

Answer 7

1996 Braves
Glavine 15
Maddux 15
Smoltz 24

Answer 8

More likely than not, the 2007 Boston Red Sox will wear that crown. I can hear them gagging already. . . .
