So you are saying that these two players have identical value:
Player A: Contact 50, Avoid K 25
Player B: Contact 50, Avoid K 75
I'm going to put up a counterhypothesis in hopes that someone will enhance my understanding by refuting it: Player B is more valuable because he gets the same result while driving up the opposing team's pitch count.
Snepp, could you perchance repeat your experiment with good-but-low-stamina starters and horrible relievers?
