This was your post which started this whole argument so let me break down why your argument is wrong. Let's assume that your right with Burnett playing in a pitchers park and Clement playing in a hitters park. So let's compare their stats in away games
W L ERA GS CG SHO IP BB/9 SO/9 AVG.
7 8 3.80 19 2 1 120.2 3.31 7.19 0.245
8 4 4.90 17 0 0 101 3.03 7.04 0.263
The first line is Burnett the second is Clement. Looking at this Burnett is leading or barely behinf every category except wins and losses and the reason Clement has more wins and losses is because Boston had the highest scoring offense while the Marlins had the 21st highest scoring offense. Now your next argument is boston had a bad defense and Florida had a great defense. Actually they both had pretty bad defense In Fielding percentage Boston was 22 with .982 and Florida was 20 with .983. Also in terms of errors Boston was 23rd with 109 and Florida was 15th with 103. Seeing this I think it's pretty clear that Burnett is better than Clement.
