What the…?
MLB.com’s depth chart of the Crew’s ‘07 rotation enters the debates as to (1) if Jeff Suppan is now the “ace” of the Brewers, and (2) how well Sheets is regarded:
…they peg…Capuano as the ace, followed by Sheets, Suppan, Bush and Vargas.
McCalvy notes that it should be Sheets, then Capuano…and that Bush may get the nod over Suppan as the #3 starter.

How the heck can it be anyone other than Sheets? Let’s say we have a guy like Francisco Liriano instead of Sheets, and Liriano is coming back from injury (just as he should be for the 2008 season). The rest of our rotation is the same, and all signs are good coming from Liriano. Who’s the ace of the staff?
Sheets is that good. We have very servicable guys in the rotation, but there is no question who is the best pitcher on the team, and that means if he’s healthy, he’s the undisputed #1. He’s healthy, ergo . . .
Are these people looking at Wins? Or are they looking at number that actually indicated how good a pitcher is and how well he might perform in the future? My guess is the former.
