Wang's won more games for the Yankees than anyone over the last 2 seasons?

Did he score the runs for them in those games?

And why can't Wang get up there when he's come closer than probably anybody on that list to throwing a perfect game??
If Cain was on the Yankees, he could have 19 wins too. Plus Cain and Lincecum DO play in a tougher division than the Yankees. You can go by wins, I'll go by stuff. Lincecum and Cain have better stuff than Wang. Hell, all the pitchers I named have better stuff.

Pathetic Stat of the Year- Matt Cain has a 3.70 career ERA, but has won just 29 of his 95 starts.

I'm not going to debate that, but stuff does not translate into success...Kyle Farnsworth clearly has better stuff than Hideki Okajima, for example.

Yankees actually have an offense to supply runs.

Farnsworth has better stuff? When did this shit happen? Just because he throws hard doesn't mean he has good stuff. Kyle has always been a thrower and never a pitcher.

He does have great stuff, he just locates it poorly.

No Maddux's fastball=movement. 98 mph with no movement=moon shots. You will hard pressed to find anyone who thinks Farnsworth has ever had good stuff.
