If you were a team owner, and you were to keep one of the following pitchers which pitcher would you keep, pitcher A with20 wins with a 5 era, or pitcher B with 10 wins and a 3 era, in an identical number of starts for the same team?

I would take pitcher A, the one with more wins. Some players and pitchers just know how to win, and are successful at what they do, also having a lot of wins also indiates that the pitcher is good at not giving up big innings at key times. While a lot of the wins are likely due to increased run support, a pitcher that wins regularily is more important than a pitcher with a good ERA.

I'd go with pitcher B. While he wins fewer games, his low ERA means he always keeps his team in the game.
