Quality starts stats are the most BS stats there are.
I think they are BS in comparing pitchers with each other, ie. Halladay and Garcia both have 10 QS in 18 games started, but I don't think they are BS wrt what that player does for a particular team. I don't care if it takes 11 htis and 4 walks to let up 3ER or less in 6 or more IP, as long as we get that result for the team. Freddy hasn't been great, nor has he pitched up to his capabilities or the money he earns, but he hasn't been awful either.
