Besides, except for his ERA, Player 3 compares very favorably to player 2 and pitched a lot more innings.
I would also consider the home/road stats of the players, though. If any of these 3 pitched a whole lot better at home than the other guys, he'd get booted out of the discussion.

Here is their Home and Road stats. Player 2 is on top with Player 3 on the bottom.
