If a pitcher continuously throws quality starts almost every time out, he gives his team a much greater chance of winning. But if he's backed by an anemic offense that can barely score runs and he loses the majority of the time that doesn't make him a bad pitcher. On the flip side, if a pitcher allows 4-5 runs a game, but is backed by a lineup like the Yankees a few years back and gets the win, that doesn't make him a good pitcher.
Wins are irrelevant when judging a pitcher. They should be ignored when doing so.
