I have no clue on the level of where you are at with baseball stats but it seems to me that some stats are misleading.
Rosenthal will miss location sometimes. But his fastball has a lot of movement on it so hitters don't square it up and hit a home run.
WAR stats have so many higher value than the actual worth and vice versa with over inflated WAR.
Sinkerball pitchers with a better defense will obviously have better stats but he will not be a better pitcher than one with a sub par defense.
