If you remove the names and just asked which scenario should I take:
Pitcher #1
18-9, 2.69 ERA, 311 K in 1998
or
Pitcher #2 & a solid reliever
17-11, 3.04 ERA, 251 K in 1998
I wonder if you would have gotten different responses.
That aspect alone had me switch to liking fictional leagues more which in the beginning I would have scoffed at the idea.

But he's going into 1999. If you took away the names and said:
Pitcher #1
2.10 ERA, 11.6 K/9, 228 ERA+, .905 WHIP over the next five years. (in the AL)
OR
Pitcher #2 and a solid reliever
3.29 ERA, 9.4 K/9, 142 ERA+, 1.075 WHIP over the next five years (in the NL)
I don't think you would get results that are much different.
