That would be interesting...the true test of the 'what if Singer and May made 30+ starts each for the Angels'. I guess my impression is they only get you half the way there; something else probably accounts for the rest.
Another thought: if top ERAs are too high, is it because the league scores more runs or because there are not enough errors?
