QS is a good because it balances out the "good pitchers on shitty teams" argument. It's 6.0 innings with less than 3 earned runs. It's not really related to wins. A quality start can lead to a win with a good offense.

Too much Moneyball turns fantasy baseball into a math class. It's why people like Fantasy Football better no averages at all.

Although FIP would combined strikeouts, walks, hit by pitches, and homeruns for pitching. It's a little bit math heavy though. Not sure if it's available in yahoo. This stat seems to directly go against what you were talking about not liking Quality Start though.
