ERA is more indicative of value. To go farther, Strikeout rate, Walk rate, and homerun rate are the most indicative of value, as they are the things pitchers have the most control over.

Just remember, Randy Johnson had an ERA of 2.60 last year, and a walk/strike out ration that was out of this world. Now, if he does that on this team, he goes 30-2. Run support may not be indicative of how effective a pitcher is, but run support will effect your win/loss total. Its a team sport folks. And remember the words of the semi-great Herman Edwards:

You play to win the game!
