Even if the Yankees signed either of those guys. Way better chance that Aceves is in next year’s rotation than Pedro or Pavano. Even if the Yankees signed either of those guys.

I said something similar in a prior thread. There's no way the Yanks don't show up with a veteran-heavy rotation next season...NO...WAY. Joba's a lock, of course, whenever they get around to starting him, and then guys like Hughes and Aceves will likely battle for the 5th spot, most likely along with another veteran candidate. That leaves 3-4 spots next season for guys like Wang, Mussina, Pettitte...and perhaps Sabathia? Maybe another darkhorse free agent candidate? I hear Carl Pavano's available. And don't forget Pedro Martinez... Agreed. I said something similar in a prior thread. There’s no way the Yanks don’t show up with a veteran-heavy rotation next season…NO…WAY.

Didn't you learn anything from this season? One of the biggest problems the Yankees had this season was they got fooled last season and handed jobs to rookies this season without making them compete to earn them. Now you want to hand Aceves a job next spring. Yikes!! Dumb. He's been good, granted. So, put him in the mix for the 5th slot in the spring with Hughes and whoever else and let one of them earn the job. Don't give him one now. Rob, Rob, Rob. Didn’t you learn anything from this season?
