And few have the talent that Glavine did in his prime. That said it's 2018 and we should all know that wins for pitchers are pointless and that ERA can certainly be influenced by the defense behind you. Glavine did not deserve the 98 Cy Young and got it based on the fact he was only pitcher with 20 wins and had a pretty era.
Sure. But he was pretty dominant during that time as well and to act like he wasn't is silly. Wins certainly aren't a great stat for judging a pitcher, but they do help paint a picture on a larger scale. A 2.95 ERA over 8 seasons at the height of the steroid era is damn impressive and helped account for the majority of those wins.

And right on cue, Curt strikes again. Agree or disagree with his position, stuff like this hurts his HOF chances.
