The more stats you use the more of a paper decision it becomes.
Ok, so knowing who the players are, bottom of the 9th, tie game, 2 outs, man on second. Last season (not looking ahead, as I know you're not sold on Judge):

Avisail Garcia or Aaron Judge?

Game tied in the bottom of the 9th and a runner on 2nd, player B every day of the week and twice on Sunday!!!
B = Garcia

ERA is just ok. I prefer fielding independent metrics - my favorite is Siera. ERA on its own doesn't normalize for babip luck, LOB luck, hr/fb luck. And it isn't park adjusted.

BA is terrible. It treats homers and singles the same, ignores positive outcomes like walks, isnt babip or hr/fb adjusted, and isn't park adjusted. Even just for measuring "contact ability", 1-k% is far more effective.

The other issue with ERA is unearned runs. I dont like the rules  regarding what’s considered an unearned run. For example if an error is made with 2 outs all runs he allows after are unearned even if he gives up 2 double and and a homer.
