Wins tell you about as much about how good a pitcher actually is as his eye color. It was a little bit different when starters often pitched complete games, but in today's baseball setting, wins are next to worthless.
See: Roger Clemens 2004 season, in which every stat except wins made it clear he was the best pitcher in baseball, but he only won 11 or 12 games (for a team that was a contending team, no less).
