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.
Not the case though because we can see into the future and know how these players can perform. If you can take an above average/good pitcher or the best pitcher for the next three years by a large margin which do you take?
