Alfredo Aceves is a winner

Alfredo Aceves has been nothing short of spectacular for the Yankees in 2009. Last night, he earned his eighth win of the season, improving to 8-1 on the season.

Eight wins matches Joba Chamberlain’s total, along with Clayton Kershaw and Jarrod Washburn’s total. Ace’s eight victories leads all relievers. He hasn’t lost in his last 24 appearances, dating back to May 26.

Ace is the man, and is definitely a winner too.

He has made one spot start this year, but it didn’t go so well. He didn’t pitch past the fourth, and it may have caused shoulder fatigue that forced him out of a few games. Now the Yankees won’t make the same mistake twice to try and take as much as they can get from Aceves.
