Last season in Wells 31 starts his team (SD) went 18-13. In Johnsons 35 starts his team (AZ) went 16-19. His team lost more than half of his starts! I realize a lot of them were despite great performances by Johnson. But both guys upgrade teams, Johnson probably more than Wells. But there is something to be said in Wells' team winning 58% of his starts and Johnson's team winning only 45% of his starts.

The only thing that can be said is that Wells pitched for a decent team and Johnson pitched for a horrible team. There is no useful stat that won't show Johnson as much, much better. I still like Boston here though.
