The 'American League wins leaders since 2000' quiz

Happy 50th birthday to four-time All-Star and 2014 World Series champion Tim Hudson!

Hudson broke into the Major Leagues in 1999 with the then-Oakland Athletics and just one year leader tied for the American League lead with 20 wins and second-place Cy Young finish. He spent six years with the A's before nine with the Atlanta Braves, where he's 10th all-time in career strikeouts (997) and 14th in wins (113). Despite his individual accomplishments, Hudson didn't win a World Series until his age-38 season with the San Francisco Giants when he started 31 games and was selected to his fourth and final All-Star game. 

Which brings us to today's quiz. Hudson finished his career with 2,080 strikeouts and 222 wins in 479 career starts. With that being said, How many of the starting pitchers to lead the American League in wins since the 2000 season can you name in five minutes?

Good luck!
