who would you rather have a 20 game winner or a 50 home runs 130 rbi everyday player that plays the field?

Seeing how the 50 HR thing is the only stat independent on a player's actual performance I'll take him. A 20 game winner could have a 5 ERA and just got extremely lucky.

lets say he has a 2.25 era a really dominant pitcher and a dominant hitter is the other choice

Dominant pitching > Dominant hitting
But, in your first situation, a 50-HR hitter >>>> 20 wins

Realistically Pitching. But I would take Hitting just because I like the offensive hitting, and home runs.

I'll take the pitcher. Doesnt matter what his ERA is, the team wins somehow when that pitcher pitches.

Pitching, You can have great batter but it takes nine. You only have one starter. Pitching all day long!

... and plus, an offense that is good enough provide enough run support for a pitcher with a 9.00 era ti win 20 games, that means the offense is probably good enough to win games for the rest of the pitchers on the staff. so in that case, you take the pitcher. the wins are what matter most. it really doesn't matter how they come.
