Well I think its also because he is not a flashy strikeout pitcher in the mold of Pedro Martinez and Randy Johnson. The guy is a horse though, and the Jays are lucky to have him.

No doubt he's very, very good. But the best? No. Close, maybe, but not the best.
The Braves bullpen came unglued yesterday, and Derek Lowe lost it today. Ugh...
Let's face it. Their bullpen just plain sucks. No qualifiers about it.
For some reason, so does Wang this season...
The Giants had an absolutely awesome weekend. Three game sweep of the cross-bay rivals, and two of the starters (Lincecum and Cain, who both should be going to the All Star Game) had complete games. Johnson, after all the pitching he's done in the last 2 weeks, also had a great effort and I'm loving this Schierholtz kid had a great weekend. So many defensive spectacular plays, and then topped it off with an Inside the Park Home Run. I still say the Giants need a bat, but this is a very surprising run they are on.
Escobar got benched. Everything I've asked for is happening. I think Bobby Cox has a camera on me.
Yay! The Twins finally managed to return from a road series with a non-losing record. They needed an assist from Milton Bradley to pull if off, but by taking 2/3 from the Cubbies, they finished the trip at 5-5.
God damn...that team can NEVER EVER stay away from the injury bug. It's insane. They are still hanging around in the East though, so you never know...
Red Sox win 6-1 over the Marlins in Fenway's 500th consecutive sellout, and the Yankees LOSE THE THE NATIONALS!
Good night, good night.
That sounds like the pitching coach's problem!
I'm starting to wonder that myself. Brad Arnsberg is a good pitching coach, but I (and many other Jays fans) can't help but begin to speculate if there's something he's teaching that's increasing the risk of injury. I mean, how many young pitchers have we had need major surgery in the past few seasons? I'll grant pitchers tend to get injured easily, but still...
At least Scott Richmond was lights out last night. I can't help but cheer for him... he's Canadian, and had one hell of a long road to the majors.
It's all part of the secret plan. This way, they'll have more games on the road in the playoffs, so they'll win more.
Or something like that.
Or something like that.
I think the Twins should consider moving Liriano to the bullpen. He's only been good for a few innings each outing and the Twins' bullpen could cenrtainly use the help (they finally had the sense to dump Jesse Crain, but his replacement isn't any better).

Okay, who are these guys and what have they done with the Washington Nationals? Do the Yankees just suck all of a sudden or are the Nats getting good?
