If that is the definition of an ace, I think there is a category of starters between an ace and a number 2 that Matt Garza falls into.

Great game for Shark last nite. Every game he just improving more and more. LaHair just stays hot. Good to see Stewart help team. My boy Campana with 2 more hits 
As for ACE discussion i agree there only about 8-10 of those guys in the league. Garza is a legit number 2. Shark is acting like a number 2 but would be very happy if he 3.

Perhaps, or there's just a misnomer about being a number 2. I ID a #2 as a great pitcher, and there aren't that many of those guys either. I just think Aces are Elite. You're right, this has to be another thread.

RF DeJesus
CF Campana
SS Castro
1B LaHair
LF Soriano
3B Stewart
C Soto
2B Cardenas
P Dempster
As long as Campana has a BABIP over 400 I am pretty happy with this lineup.

Campana needs to drop more 100-point bunts.

If he is getting on base I don't have a problem with him at the top of the order. I just don't think it will continue, but maybe I am wrong about that. Certainly didn't expect LaHair to be leading 1B with homeruns and OPS at this point in the season.

Ah, you didn't see the bunt either last night or the day before. That was a good bunt. Which is odd considering how many times he bad bunts.

Brian LaHair is far from graceful
