242? That, in a way, is very good news. There's only 4 current pitchers with more, Clemens, Maddux, Glavine, and Johnson.

With 5 man rotations amd 34 start seasons, that's pretty good. 242 means they averaged 17 wins a season for 14 years. Mix in 8 no decisions and 9 losses, and they guy is 242-126, a .657 winning %.

This hypothetical stacks up better than Bob Gibson. He looks identical to Juan Marichal.

Would you be happy with sims using modern pitcher settings and your top guy was 1% better than Gibson or Marichal?
