Actually, they are pretty similar in geek stat land also. OPS+ is 125 (JS) v. 123 (MM), Fangraphs WAR is 79 (JS) v. 82 (MM), xFIP is 3.29 (JS) v.3.69 (MM). The biggest contrast is really the 154 Sv v. 57 W with xFIP being a little different as well.
I think Smoltz would have been the better choice if he could trade those 300 IP as RP + 1 injured yr for about 125 starts.
