Bill Fulton vs. Art Smith — Career Comparison

Art Smith built a career as a starting pitcher and Bill Fulton as a reliever — different jobs with different demands — but on the metrics that apply to both, a comparison is still worth making. Bill Fulton posted a career ERA of 11.57 against Art Smith's 11.57, with WHIP of 2.143 and 3.000 respectively. The raw numbers call this too close to separate — era context would be needed for a firmer verdict.
