All of my pitching assessment starts with BABIP. It puts the rest in context. I would look for pitchers with high ERAs who have correspondingly high BABIP. If you can see if you can check the defense behind them. Probably not going to happen for relievers but SP you can look at the team they were on. If other GMs are not paying attention you will be able to sign players whose stats were high because of factors other than their pitching.
When doing this you are going to want to know GB/FB ratios to weigh OF defense vs IF defense.
