Wins are a joke. It wasn't that long ago that writers lived and died by the wins stat. The 2005 AL Cy Young race was the most notorious example I can think of.

Colon 2005: 21-8, 3.48 ERA, 222.2 innings, 157 K, 1.16 WHIP
Santana 2005: 16-7, 2.87 ERA, 231.2 innings, 238 K, 0.97 WHIP

I love Bart but jesus, no way he should have won that award let alone in a blowout like he did. There is no objective metric that Colon was more deserving. He just happened to be on a far better team that actually gave him a ton of run support. Johan allowed less than a baserunner per inning for christ's sake.
