The baseball world is more about sabermetrics these days. Look at Felix Hernandez winning a Cy Young Award with a record of 13-12. It makes me wonder how many pitchers might have won Cy Young Awards based on performance and not won/loss records in the past if the emphasis was less about the win total.

I don't believe wins are worthless, but they certainly shouldn't be the defining factor in what makes a pitcher the best during any given season. 30 wins is extremely impressive, but someone like Nolan Ryan, who is considered one of the most dominating pitchers in baseball history, doesn't have a very good won/loss record.

You can't blame a stellar pitcher for having bad run support.
