		<description>&quot;Look its not always about having an Ace I would take our staff over that of the yankees. We have more solid pitchers from top to bottom.&quot;

Top to bottom we are solid and thats even with Derek Lowe struggling who while he is not an Ace is still a solid top of the rotation starter.</description>

		<description>Lowe is 25th among SP in FIP, 2nd among SP in GB%, 3rd in GB/FB, 34th in WAR.  He&#039;s a no. 2 getting paid like a no. 2 (his estimated worth has been about 12.5MM/year so far...could easily get to 15MM with a few solid starts).

True ace starters get paid upwards of 18-20MM in free agency (see: Johan Santana, CC Sabathia, Jake Peavy, Carlos Zambrano).  No. 2 starters get paid in the 13-17MM dollar range on the free agent market.  See: Lowe, Derek, Buehrle, Mark and Burnett, AJ.

(Of course, there is also Barry Zito, but we&#039;ll call him an outlier or just &quot;Brian Sabean is stupid&quot;)</description>
