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?
Here you go. Exact same setup as the original high/low K teams. The position players were untouched in any way.

The starting pitchers had their core ratings bumped from 100 to 125 (stuff/move/con), while their stamina was reduced from 150 to 100.

Relievers cores reduced from 100 to 90, stamina left at 50.

I ran it three times. Screenshots are wide so I'll just link to them.
