Aceves avoids arbitration: Boston RP Alfredo Aceves agreed Sunday to a one-year, $1.2 million contract to skip arbitration, according to ESPN.com. Aceves finished with a 10-2 record with a 2.61 ERA in 55 relief appearances for the Red Sox last season. He could be moved to the starting rotation this year. (Updated 02/05/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
The Red Sox will need to fill out the last two spots in their pitching rotation next spring and Aceves could reportedly be one of the main options the team is considering. He made four starts with Boston last season as he finished with 80 strikeouts in a career-high 114 total innings of work. It remains unclear if the 29-year-old can sustain his quality success as a starter, and Fantasy owners should monitor his progress during the spring. (Updated 02/05/2012).
02/10/2012 09:03 2012 Fantasy outlooks: Boston Red Sox
The Red Sox didn't make much noise this winter after a disasterous end to their 2011 season. Our Al Melchior examines the revamped roster for owners in advance of Draft Day.
It's true that you can't spell Alfredo Aceves without the word, "ace," but no one would confuse the 30-year-old with a top-of-the-rotation starter. However, the Red Sox are going to give Aceves -- a long reliever and spot starter up to this point -- a chance to nail down a spot at the back of the rotation. While Aceves isn't overpowering, he has been very good at avoiding hard contact and getting hitters to pop up. It's not yet known if that will translate when in a full-time starting role, but if it does, Aceves will be particularly valuable to Head-to-Head owners, who can get starter innings from him while using him as a reliever in Fantasy. That makes Aceves worth drafting as a Fantasy RP in deeper mixed Head-to-Head formats. (Updated 1/27/12)
