Gordon went 17-9 with a 3.64 ERA as a 21-year-old rookie for the Kansas City Royals way back in 1989, somehow inexplicably finishing second in the Rookie-of-the-Year race that year to reliever Gregg Olson. Nine years later, in 1998, Gordon saved 46 games for the Boston Red Sox. That’s right, the third player is the one and only Tom Gordon!

I'd say Tom Gordon or Bob Wickman for #3. Based on Moro's clue above I'll go with Smoltz/Eck/Gordon. Smoltz and Eck are the gimmes.

Lowe won at least 17 on two occasions, but his best saves total was 42. Righetti saved at least 45, but his highest win total was 14.
