God, you guys are so indoctrinated to losing that it makes me shake my head.

Tell all those pitchers who won 300 games -one of the hallmarks of making it to Coopsertown- that the accomplishment is a dumbass stat.
This has nothing to do with losing. It has to do with looking at baseball logically.

Here's a great test: Which hitter do you think is going to help you win more games next season.

These are their career averages. We'll assume, for consistency sake, that each player is still in his prime (both will be 29 next year).

Hitter A: .307/18/81 RBI/.325 OBP/.450 SLG
Bitter B: .260/20/60 RBI/.350 OBP/.450 SLG
