Alfredo Aceves

There is a report that the Red Sox want to sign Alfredo Aceves and needless to say that is bad. In case you didn't know Ace made his debut in 2008 and since then he has posted a 14-1 record out of the bullpen and is an extremely versatile bullpen asset, he unfortunately suffered a back injury in may and was never able to recover before being forced to have surgery in November for an unrelated injury. Many fans found it puzzling that he was non-tendered at the end of the season  and that since he has not been resigned. I trust the judgment of GM Brian Cashman, but I have to ask "Why hasn't Ace been resigned?" This question is especially significant now that Red Sox have shown interest and with the Yankees rotation problems Ace would seem a solid move even if he has to rehab for awhile in the minors. Maybe there is some behind the scenes action going on that we don't know about, but honestly i don't even know why you would not tender a guy like Aceves. Hopefully Ace is back in Pinstripes in 2011, at full power and still 100% bald.
