personally, I think on the pitchers end, MVP tends to lean a little too much to wins instead of ERA as a pitcher has little to do with their offense and can't help it if his team only gives him one run in 7 innings.
There's many good arguments on both sides, which is more important, Wins or ERA. I don't think it is as clear cut as many people suggest.

I would love this. This is what I've done with my own excel workbook. For example, the pitcher award depends on a minimum # of IP, then depends on a combination Wins, ERA and IP, whereas the batter award depends strictly on XR, MVP on XWins. I think this might be complicated to accomodate most people's preferences however.
