Is total wins for a pitcher an overrated stat?

Think of it this way. One can achieve a 1.7ERA but if your team can't hit like the mariners for instance, you're not going to get wins.

It is a team stat, not a stat to determine who is the best pitcher. That being said, awards voters are still stupid and I do not expect Felix to win the Cy Young despite one of the best pitching campaigns in recent memory.

CC or Price will win it. FTR, Nolan Ryan never won a Cy Young. Yes, THAT guy.

I don't think so, but I don't think Wins is the top stat for a pitcher. Most overrated pitcher stat is K's

Yeah, forget the only stat that measures the ability of a pitcher to get guys out without the help of his defense!
