The newest Yankee is reliever Alfredo Aceves, who will be the first Yankee
ever to wear No. 91. And why did he choose it? For Dennis Rodman.
“When I was in high school, I used to watch basketball and the Chicago Bulls,
” Aceves said this morning. “Dennis Rodman was one of the best players at
that time. The way he played, he played a lot mentally. He made the other
players get frustrated.”
But you’re not nuts, right, Alfredo?
“But I’m not nuts,” Aceves said, laughing.
The Yankees paid $450,000 to Aceves’ Mexican League team to sign him in
February. At the same time, they also signed Manuel Banuelos, who is 4-1 with
a 2.57 E.R.A. in the Gulf Coast League. “He’s a teenager, left-hander, very
good,” General Manager Brian Cashman said.
Aceves is here to provide bullpen depth, but he projects as a starter. He has
made 23 starts this year in Class A Tampa, Class AA Trenton and Class AAA
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, succeeding at every level with a fastball, curveball
and changeup. Here’s the scouting report on him from June from Class AA
catcher P.J. Pilittere.
Give the Yankees credit for cobbling together a respectable bullpen from some
surprising sources: Aceves (Mexican League), Edwar Ramirez (independent
league), Jose Veras (minor league free agent) and Brian Bruney (minor league
free agent) have all been success stories.
