Infinitely accurate numbers will do you no good at all unless they are telling you something that you can readily use.
Until someone presents another method of predictive team pitching staff quantification, instead of just sniping, Jon Weisman's method remains the best one I've seen to date.
You think you have a better method? Post it. If you do, I'll use it.

Personally, I think just using the staff ERA from the previous season (or major league equivalent ERA for rookies) would be a more accurate predictor than the method given. Not that I think staff ERA from the previous year is a great measure, but just about anything is better than the arbitrary one used.
