Thanks for sorting that by team by ERA+.

The table gives a good handle on what each team has got.

I still find it hard to believe the Braves gave up the farm and did nothing to solve the backend of the pitching.

The Twins had the pitching and did nothing to bolster the offense. If ever a team was a match for Betemit it was the Twins.

Loaiza has a ERA+ of 236

is there an ERA+-like statistic that takes innings pitched into consideration?

Barry Zito: 5th Starter. And if you ignore innings pitched and ballpark factors it looks like D.C. has the best rotation.

3 yeah, i thought about VORP, but it isn't normalized. i guess it's hard to balance counting and rate stats and come up with a notion of an "average" performance.
