White Sox Win Leaders in the Maddux Era

Greg Maddux made his major league debut in 1986, and has amassed 355 victories since. He's set to announce his retirement Monday as the baseball winter meetings take place in his hometown of Las Vegas.

So, I got to wondering who is the Sox win leader in Maddux's career. Actually, I already knew the answer to that one and I'm pretty sure 90% of you would have guessed correctly, but there are some other interesting names on the Top 10 in that time span.

      Player             **W**  From  To   Ages   ERA  ERA+ 
+----+-----------------+-------+----+----+-----+-----+-----
    1 Mark Buehrle        122   2000 2008 21-29  3.80  122 
    2 Jon Garland          92   2000 2007 20-27  4.41  106 
    3 Jack McDowell        91   1987 1994 21-28  3.50  117  
    4 Alex Fernandez       79   1990 1996 20-26  3.78  114 
    5 James Baldwin        69   1995 2001 23-29  5.04   93 
    6 Wilson Alvarez       67   1991 1997 21-27  3.76  118
    7 Jose Contreras       50   2004 2008 32-36  4.55  102 
    8 Mike Sirotka         45   1995 2000 24-29  4.31  111 
    9 Melido Perez         44   1988 1991 22-25  4.20   93 
   10 Greg Hibbard         41   1989 1992 24-27  3.78  103 

I would have missed Baldwin, Perez and Hibbard if I had tried to guess the Top 10. Anyway, this was just an excuse to have a fresh thread this weekend.
