The Dennis Rodman of the Yankees

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.
