Wins are still relevant since all pitchers play with the same rules.

They don't all play with the same run support, defense and bullpens though. It is a terrible metric to judge starting pitchers, and I am sure no front offices even look at it when evaluating pitchers. In 2012, Cliff Lee made 30 starts with a 3.16 ERA and 7.5/1 K:B and had a 6-9 record.

Whip, ERA and BAA are all much more important than W-L records IMO

it might make it fair but that doesn't make it relevant. Our desire to declare a winner and a loser to everything makes it relevant.
