For me, with starting pitchers, I look more at ERA and whip than wins
you can have a great ERA and WHIP but if your offense sucks, you are screwed.
relief pitchers I look at holds, WHIP and inherited runners allowed to score more than ERA
You let too many men on base you aren't looking good. As far as ERA you could be brought in for one person. You fail to get him out and are replaced, the next guy allows that run to score you are scored/
batters, OBP and SLG
as i stated earlier, batting average isn't very useful
