Which year's rookie pitchers went on to post the most career wins?

[brett]

I am not sure if someone has the means to research this, but is there a way to rack up all the career wins for pitchers who were rookies in a given season? I was looking at 1984 where we have:
Clemens-354
Gooden-194
Saberhagen-167
Gubicza-132
Langston-179
Darling-136
Fernandez-114
Danny Jackson-112
Jimmy Key-186
who all won at least 100 career games. Can anyone find an official rookie crop with 9 future 100 game winners?

In addition
Rasmussen-91

and Cocanower, Nipper, Mason and a few other rookies racked up some wins.

Not the exact same set as 1984 "rookies," but the 1984 Top 21 "debuts" are like this :

                         
Rk             Player   W

The total wins for all 1984 debuts is something like 2400+.

If someone has the inclination try 1962-69, when Perry, Niekro(s), Carlton, Sutton, Seaver, Blyleven, John, Koosman woudl have broke in. Otherwise that looks hard to top.

[dgarza]

1965 is impressive, especially considering expansion only has a minimal effect in the mid-60s.
