I'm not a huge fan of it either... The arguments I've heard supporting its usefulness are that 1) it requires the starter to go deeper into the game to get it, 2) it removes the dependency on what your team's offense is able to do, and 3) they don't get rewarded to, say, the guy who comes in and gets two outs after the starter is pulled in the 5th (or whatever the case may be). Just putting it out there... but yes, calling 4.50 ERA "quality" is questionable at best, IMO
