Is Tillman stepping up to be our ace?

He has been good all year. Once in a while he is great.

Honestly, we have so many pitchers who have been lights out since the ASB that it's hard for me to even understand the concept of "ace". Gausman is not really an ace because he has distance problems, he usually goes 5 innings, and 7 is a lot for him. But he's effective and gives up few home runs. Gonzo is solid but not an ace. Norris is very, very good and has been the most consistent pitcher IMHO. Chen has been very, very good since the break.

Sure, you could nitpick the stats, but it's hard to argue with the output of our starting rotation as a whole for the past, oh I don't know, 60 games or so. I think we have three aces, myself. ;)

Every team has an ace. That's what you call the best pitcher on the staff. Yes Tillman is our best guy.

Every team has a best starting pitcher.

The best pitcher on a major league staff is not necessarily an ace.
