It's funny, in recent starts I feel det has been unlucky on balls in play, a lot of slow rollers well placed for hits, the stats however don't back my premise.

I think it's great to have a guy like det pitching for us, he's an exceptional #5

He's an exceptional #5 because he has #2 type stuff.  That's his ceiling and when that's your #5 guy's ceiling it is hard to overstate how good your pitching staff is.
