Phil won a lot of games but he also led the league in losses four years in a row and retired with an ERA+ of 115.
I would take Hoyt Wilhelm for my team. Guy was an unheralded beast and would have a case for being the highest paid pitcher in the game today if he were starting his career right now.
In the age of the opener and long relief man, who wouldn't empty the bank for Hoyt Wilhelm?
