I think it's possible/likely that he has a good year. But I don't think he'll be a Cy candidate, and we could certainly use one.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
But an ace isn't just someone who can put up numbers and/or rank in Cy Young voting.
An ace is someone who is also the leader of the pitching staff; someone who can exceed in high pressure situations.
Zambrano can't do that.
I honestly think we have a pretty solid rotation, but we are sorely missing that ace. If we found one, we'd be tough to hit against.
