Yesterday's performance:
This guy doesn't just throw heat for an inning. When he comes in he pitches 2, 3, or 4 innings. He is bred to be a starter.
Alfredo Aceves, the 28 year old Mexican playing in his second year in the majors is the real deal. He is a finished pitcher, with veteran poise and guile, command of several pitches, and the competitive fire that comes from the experience of being a 27 year old rookie.
If the Yankees are going to win the World Series, guys like Aceves are going to be the difference.
