I am looking at 97 and 2004 Brad Radke and cannot decide which is actually best.

1997  252 Oavg# 1.72 bb/9# 1.16 whip# 3.10 ERC# 5.33 K/9#  1.05 HR/9 105 HR/9+ 240 IP 5.97 Mil
2004  262 Oavg# 1.05 BB/9# 1.14 whip# 3.05 ERC# 4.88K/9#   0.94 HR/9 122 HR/9+ 220 IP 5.42 Mil

I was leaning toward 2004 with the better ERC# and little better HR/9 but I am starting to wonder if the 97 with better Oavg might do better. Salary and IP really don't matter.

I always go for the HR/9... but I'm not always right. What does your park and defense look like? 

I would go with 2004 if you're defense doesn't suck.   With that 1.05 BB/9 and 4.88 K/9; balls are gonna be put in play.

It will be in the Metrodome with pretty good D, A- A- at SS A+/B+ at 1B, A/C at 2B A+/C+ 3B A/A in CF, A/C in LF C/C+ is my only liability in RF and a D- arm Catcher. Against lefties I will have an A/A+ to put in CF and planning on moving my A/A OF out of position to 1B.

Well, that doesn't suck....
