Is RA Dickey an ace now??

[MJFtheGenius]

I am not saying he is as good as the kid in seattle or Halliday

but is he in the conversation now??

[EaglesPhan36]

Knuckle ball pitcher is never an ace. They go from unhittable to giving up 5 home runs from start to start.

[doublej95]

See Tim Wakefield

This might be the dumbest thread ever and I mean ever at sbr,

[encephalization]

Have him in my Fantasy and I just he hope he doesn't get slaughtered every week.

Love knucklers but he is just a mid-level pitcher.

[stevenash]

He's a three starter on any other club.

An ace is Halladay, Sabathia, Timmy, King Felix.

Back in the day Seaver, Gibson, Palmer were aces.

Just because you are the first in the rotation doesn't make you an ace, calling Dickey an ace is like calling Hochevar of the Royals an ace.

[CollegePro]

ace???? hell fukcing no.... he is trash

[spippen]

He will end up pitching the rest of the season like he did in the top 7th.

[NittanyLionsFan]

Haha RA Dickey. Ship it to the Rockies backers!

[pronk]

You can call him tricky-dickey

[ebbearsfb1]

Give me all ur points for your lack of intelligence when it comes to sports

[LLXC]

He might be the Ace of the Mets with Santana out and that shows you how bad their starting pitching is...

[southmadejd]

Jesus, he is like 3 starts in on the season and you are asking if a guy is an ace that has never showed ace ability before?

[G's pks]

No...

[DMB40]

Is this a joke?

[dlunc3]

not a chance, he would be the phills #5

[ebbearsfb1]

not a chance, he would be the phills #5

wouldnt even be in the top 5 for phillies

[EastOakland]

Anyone can be an ace for the mets, i think they should let Jose Reyes pitch because he is the only person on the team who gives a shit. I think i should go try out for the mets open tryout. I know i can turn a double play.

[rk9]

He didnt win 10 games until last year with 11. I dont think he is going 'breakout' at age 36. He will end the season with 13-14 wins and 4.00+ ERA.

There are only a handful of true aces around right now and the Phillies have two of them. Rough list would be
Lincecum
Halladay
Lee
Sabathia
Felix

Next tier
Price
J. Johnson
Lester
Verlander
Weaver
Carpenter
Cain
Kershaw
U. Jiminez
Wainwright
Haren (borderline)

I probably missed some but lets just say Dickey's name wouldn't be coming up for quite awhile.
