Had five, so I thought I would see which starting pitchers are the best so far in 2013 if you take out wins (works if you believe you cannot predict wins). So, based on ERA, WHIP, and K's and limiting the population to those pitchers with 10 or more starts through last night:
1 Harvey, Matt (NYM)
1 Kershaw, Clayton (LAD)
3 Scherzer, Max (DET)
4 Darvish, Yu (TEX)
5 Hernandez, Felix (SEA)
6 Bumgarner, Madison (SF)
7 Wainwright, Adam (STL)
8 Fernandez, Jose (MIA)
9 Corbin, Patrick (ARI)
10 Sale, Chris (CHW)
11 Iwakuma, Hisashi (SEA)
12 Minor, Mike (ATL)
13 Strasburg, Stephen (WAS)
14 Lee, Cliff (PHI)
15 Kuroda, Hiroki (NYY)
Shows how wrong I was about Jose Fernandez and a Minor surprise from Atlanta. No surprise seeing the top 5 is also the top 5 in K's.
Just for fun...

Best 2013 Starting Pitchers (not counting Wins)
Baseball is a slow, boring, complex, cerebral game that doesn't lend itself to histrionics. You 'take in' a baseball game, something odd to say about a football or basketball game, with the clock running and the bodies flying.
