So, let's say Milton averages out to 5.5 k/9, Silva to 3.5. That may be 1.5 outs over the course of the 6-7 innings they'd normally throw. Given all the other parameters of their performance, HR rate, BB rate, ability to take their turn in the rotation, not to mention the near-certainty that Silva would be pitching with a better defense over the life of his contract, I think Milton's better K rate puts little in his favor.

OK, you've convinced me that Silva can be as good as Milton.
Now what?
