#TriviaThursday - 6/18/15

I want to apologize for missing last week's #TriviaThrusday.  I am starting a new job soon and had some things to take care of at my current job before I am done, and Thursday came and went without me noticing.  Two weeks ago, @JMoeller5 reached double-digits on his #TriviaThursday total board when he identified Ryan Howard for most homers in one season by a player under 25 who is still active.

This week, let's take a look at pitchers...
One of the arguments for those who supported Jack Morris getting into the Hall of Fame (which didn't happen, and is discussed well in this blog post from a few years ago.) is that he is the only pitcher in the 20th century to have the most wins in a decade and not be elected to the Hall.

What pitcher had the most wins in the 2000's (2000-2009)?

1) All questions will be baseball questions, sometimes relating directly to MLB Showdown, but not always.
2) While it is impossible to regulate this, please refrain from using an internet search engine to find the answer.  If you know it, congratulations!  If you have a fairly educated guess, give it a shot.  We ask for your honesty in following this guideline.
3) Twitter answers must include the hashtag #TriviaThursday and be sent to me @RokTikiTiki in order to be counted.  Those sent to @MLBShowdownGuru do not count.
4) If no correct guess is made by the following Wednesday at noon ET, there will be no winner for that week.  A hint will be added on Friday, Monday, and Tuesday until there is a correct guess or the Wednesday deadline is reached.

Current Standings:
@JMoeller5 - 10
@kris_barnes7 - 6
@Averey25 - 3
@CKiritz - 1
@TweeterLeGrand - 1
