I'd say in this particular year he has been the team's ace. Probably not in the future, but he's been THE guy this year for this team (as you said with your MVP declaration).

If he's consistently turned the corner for the rest of his career, with his use of the fastball, I think that makes him a reliable #2. Estrada is great but he has to be perfect or else balls start leaving the ballpark, which makes him a really go 3 or 4. Happ can be a bit off, but he's got real gas and a deceptive fastball where he uses "all 4 quadrants of the plate" blah blah blah making him a real mainstay as a legit #2 in any rotation. But it all depends on how he performs from hereon in and how he looks next year. But as a one off year, this season in itself has been one hell of an accomplishment, and nobody can take that away from him.
