I never implied Zito was a #3 starter to begin with. I was using him in light of his situation in comparison to Ramirez. He is easily a TOR pitcher, though I think he falls off the edge of 'Ace' status.
Perhaps I should use a different guy?
My whole point is that Ramirez is not a #3 starter. Maybe a few years back, but he hasn't been very good at all the last few years. He might be a very good #5, but a #3 is stretching it too far...
As for the Ace question, I have no idea where that came from...but ill answer it before my pizza is done...Ace would be a guy who is consistently among the top in baseball, and is just plain consistent. Hes a pitcher who teams go in knowing its going to be a tough day at the plate every time he comes out to the mound. I dunno...I dont understand the question. I know you're not stupid and actually wanna know what an Ace is, so where did this question come from? Did I imply something about an Ace somewhere? Just wondering.
