Jon Lieber has been something the Phils haven't had since Curt Schilling.   A real ace.   An ace is not just the pitcher that opens up the season, he's the guy you can count on every start he makes.   When Curt Schilling was a Phillie, you knew that no matter how bad the week was, when he started...the Phils had more than just a shot to win.

Here's Jon's stats so far this year:

Starts: 3  - Wins: 3 - ERA: 2.49

With the rest of the rotation looking good, even though Gavin Floyd had a shaky start the other day, if the offense and defense can sync up soon, the Phils can make a run of it.
