Also, many of these pitchers are effective, just not pitching enough. One of the worst teams in the league had 3 top starters with ERAs of 3.22, 3.23 and 3.61. They each started 31 games but only threw 136, 142 and 147 innings. They averaged about a K per inning, too. They had another guy with a 3.34 ERA who started 22 games with 102 innings.
