If they had switched places my bet is that Mussina would've ended up with 300 wins, several 20 win seasons and a noticably better ERA+.

Maybe Palmer had higher peaks and lower valleys (hence the Cy's), played on better teams (which is true, and anyway it wasn't Moose's fault he doesnt have rings from '01 and even '03), and 20-win seasons are a dumb thing to consider (and show the higher peaks/lower valleys thing again, as well as a different era when pitchers threw more innings and got more decisions).
