FORT MYERS, Fla. – The problem with not moving Alfredo Aceves this offseason is that the more incidents that pile up on his resume the harder it gets to move him and get something decent for a very good pitcher.
The Red Sox brought so many character guys into camp, got rid of Josh Beckett, Adrian Gonzalez and Carl Crawford, but they failed to move out the player who accumulated that the most disciplinary problems on the team last season -- Alfredo Aceves.

he is not worth the trouble send him a walking
Hate to lose the talent but it's addition by subtraction. Farrell has to make a statement and that is, AA is gone. Lesson for rest of TEAM.
Its unfortunate you cant get value for him, but in a situation like the RS are in, a team rebuilding their image and going out of their way to bring in character guys for the clubhouse, there's still serious value in sending him packing and showing everyone, inside and outside the organization, that this foolishness wont be tolerated any longer. Of course, the team should have outright released him after the 2 incidents late last year but they were too busy showing up Valentine to back him in any way.
