How many Aces are there in the MLB?

So far this season I'd say weaver, Johnson, halladay
That's it for the elites

Horrible list where are Latos and Buchholz

Aces to me are the very very best. I would cut that list down to just a couple.

~~Adam Wainwright~~
Roy Halladay
~~Cole Hamels~~
~~Roy Oswalt~~
Cliff Lee
~~C.C. ~~Sabathia~~~~
~~Dan Haren~~
Jered Weaver
Josh Johnson
~~Justin Verlander~~
Felix Hernandez
~~Jon Lester~~
~~David Price~~
Tim Lincecum
~~Chris Carpenter~~
~~Clayton Kershaw~~
~~Matt Cain~~
~~Tommy Hanson~~

adam waino should be at the top of any list when discussing aces

Well, the term "ace" would need to be defined first before making the list. Otherwise, it's just people's opinions.

Every team has their ace...

onetrickpony · 05-03-11, 02:14 AM

1. roy h
2. josh johnson
3. timmy
4. adam waino
5. felix h

that would be my rotation

i think an ace is a guy that you can count on to stop the bleeding. say a 4 game skid etc..

i completely agree with wainwright remaining on the list

Galante118 · 05-03-11, 10:18 AM

timeout adam wainwright? i mean it depends on your term ace but

elite
josh johnson
tim lincecum
roy halladay
felix hernandez

this season weaver is obviously included thus far but i hesitate to put him with this group just yet. the rest of the list isnt over the hump to be elite. and that borderline list is pretty bad when compared to the elite. danks or johnson...come on not even close

forloveofthegame · 05-03-11, 10:21 AM

i didnt make the list but i know what you mean. i personally dont think tommy hanson should be mentioned

Galante118 · 05-03-11, 10:24 AM

yea i mean some of these guys have potential to join the elite...kershaw being one im really big on i just think those 4 and hands down better then the rest.

That list is too long for "Aces." I agree, the word needs to be defined.
