Aceves

Y’know, I’m just going to go out on a limb and declare that Terry Francona’s decision to use Alfredo Aceves out of the bullpen in the final week was a good one.  6.1 innings with one run and four hits is pretty solid, and using Aceves from the bullpen made it more likely that his contribution would be in high impact innings.  I suppose the argument could be made that Aceves should have been switched with either Lackey or Bedard, but then he obviously couldn’t have contributed in the other game, much less stopped the bleeding in the Beckett start.
