ERA is a useful summary statistic, but my favorite stat for pitchers is Opponent OPS. For MLB, overall, Opponent OPS is pretty consistent with ERA, but for an individual pitcher, it is much more indicative of his true pitching performance than ERA. ERA has many biases that Opponent OPS does not have. For example, ERA rewards pitchers who allow most of their home runs with no runners on base or are able to strand runners at the end of innings, even though those events are generally believed to be random and out of the pitcher’s control.Yahoo, please add Opponent OPS as an available scoring category.

About 4-5 years ago, I suggested a new pitching category, OPS against. Just like hitters have OPS, so do pitchers. If OBP against can be a pitching category, so can OPS against, or OOPS. Opponent OPS is much more indicative of a pitcher's true pitching performance than ERA is. Please add.
If it's good enough for hockey, it should be good enough for baseball and basketball. Even football lets you put injured players on IR once they're ruled Out for the game.
Let baseball and basketball also have the DL/IR+ option like the hockey game has.
