Wow....why don't you try to find a more meaningless statistic, because I bet you'd be hard pressed to do it. You used unqualified stats, which means that every pitcher that even threw an inning is in that list. EDIT: Since ESPN stats don't let me add a filter of minimum innings pitched other than "qualifying", I had to choose a different method. Sorting all of last years pitchers by innings pitched, and looking at the ERA of each of the ones that pitched 140 innings or more, (there 58 of those by the way) only 13 of them had worse ERA's than Glendon. That's not average.
