6 innings, 3 hits, zero runs against the Dodgers.

Now, for his career, he is 13-6 in 26 starts, with a 3.59 ERA and 1.10 WHIP.

On this staff, yes. On a contender's staff he's a low maintenance plug and play #3. Maybe he'd play the role of a Kyle Lohse or Jeff Suppan.
Correct.
We agree.
He is the ace of the staff - that is, the current staff.
There's no doubt his fastball is not the best, but he only uses it 25% of the time, and uses the other 5 pitches very well - as the charts below convey. And of course, great control.
Batting avg against chart = Fastball is the worst, but the sinker, change-up, and curve are very good.
