Yea it can get tricky in these situations. Take a look at their strikeout % and walk %. Even though K's and BB's feed directly into FIP, it can still be very useful to look at them separately. These are especially good for when deciding on relievers.
I suppose other things you can do is look to see who has the better velocity and repitoire.
It kind of comes to a gut call sometimes. Often I'll go with the guy who's actually getting it done until he proves he can't anymore.
And at the end of the day if it's still a coin flip in your mind, you could look into going with the best contractual situation. Who's got more minor league options remaining, etc.
