Honestly?
I don't give a flying f*** what his record is.
I care what type of ERA and ERA+ he posts, whether his BABIP and BAA stats stay the same as they have the past two years.
I care about his walk ratios.
Those are the true indicators of a pitcher's value. Plenty of pitchers have put up crappy W totals while pitching on great teams. Plenty have put up gaudy W totals while pitching on shitty teams.
Wins are the most worthless stat in baseball. Worse even than saves, in my opinion.
