How on earth has no one named Scott Kazmir yet?

Because every time I go into a game, I feel like we have a good chance to leave with a win. Same thing with King Felix.

I wouldn't call Zambrano an ace either. A pitcher who can't control his emotions enough that he gets into a fight with his catcher during a game can't control his emotions enough to be a leader.

Now if you want to ask who is an ace in the making, I would say Kazmir, Loewen, and Chris Young. I don't like King Felix, and I think Liriano will be injured consistently throughout his career.

My aces

Santana

Webb

Sabathia

Peavy

Beckett

Halladay

Smoltz

Kazmir

Verlander (how could anyone forget him?)

Sheets (when healthy)

I feel that at one point, Pedro and Oswalt were aces. Not anymore.

I also feel that Bedard isn't a leader. An ace leads by example, and when he isn't playing, he's sulking on the bench.

My future aces

Loewen

Haren

Liriano

Young

I feel Yovani Gallardo has a chance to be an ace.

If I may inquire, why do you consider Oswalt a once ace? Granted, I don't watch a ton of NL ball but from what I do gather, he's consistently been one of the best pitchers in the league. He doesn't have the gaudy strikeout numbers of some of the others on your ace's list, but the only blemish I see on his ML resume is one season where he only tossed 127 innings (and they were quality innings). He's no spring chicken but at 29/30, he's hardly a dinosaur.
