Currently I am using both FIP & WHIP as indicators of the pitcher himself. Regardless of star rating if both of them are reasonably low compared to league averages they usually result in a winning season.

Sometimes only 2/3 out of my opening day lineup perform really well and I find my 5th & 6th guys step up and throw really well. (Still in the 40s with a 4 man rotation). Unfortunately they only throw well for a year or so and back to relief they go... But thems the breaks.
