Quick Bits: Aceves, Pudge
September 10, 2008, 5:20 amA few notes on the club:
1. Alfredo Aceves pitched a great ballgame against the Angels, going 7 strong while giving up only 1 ER (he struck out 2). He’s certainly done what he needs to do in order to keep his rotation spot for the rest of the year. It’ll be interesting to see what happens to the former Mexican leaguer. Of course, we all know not to go nuts over his recent performance, since the memories of IPK and Phil Hughes are still fresh in our heads. Remember, both pitchers were brilliant (well, at times) for the Yankees last year and didn’t do anything for the team this year. However, as of now it seems safe to say that Aceves will provide depth in the minor league system, depth that we weren’t too aware of earlier in the season.
2. Pudge Rodriguez will likely be suspended for the incident with Torii Hunter. Really, with Chad Moeller on the team, this won’t be much of a blow. Pudge hasn’t done anything from an offensive standpoint for this club and without his bat around, hell, maybe the Yankees will start winning again (it feels like that trade was a jinx or something). Pudge now has a case of whiplash (a result of Hunter’s push) and I feel as though that’s enough punishment (seriously, that fight wasn’t all that serious). Either way, he’s not really an everyday player on this team, so who cares, right?
More later (I’ll be pondering a few things)…
This to all of whom did”nt get a chance to see him in person pitch a hell of a game, and to face one of the americqan leagues power team, with all the weapons in the line up! come on people, all of you can judge a book by it’s cover but you don’t judge the talent of this fine young gun, who so happens too be my nephew, and all of his family and friends are very proud of him, so look out new york, here comes your ace of aceves on the subway train.
I agree with my uncle I believe my causin is doing great we all support you primo
