David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution is boldly announcing this morning that the Atlanta Braves "finally have their ace" in Derek Lowe.

Lowe, 35, pitched admirably last season for the Los Angeles Dodgers -- well enough to merit a 4-year, $60 million contract, according to the article.

Lowe has a 126-107 career record and a 3.75 ERA. He's averaged 15 wins, 208 innings and nearly 34 starts over the past seven seasons.
