ESPN's Buster Olney says there's a "good possibility" free agent Alfredo Aceves signs with the Mets. Aceves posted an ugly 4.86 ERA in 11 appearances (six starts) this past year for the Red Sox and was at times a headache for Boston manager John Farrell. But he shouldn't cost much for a Mets team that is open to taking chances on any potential roster upgrades. Aceves, 30, posted a 2.61 ERA across 114 innings back in 2011. Later

He's been mostly a reliever in his career - including being one of about nine closers the Sawx have used over the last two seasons. I would think he'd almost certainly get enough nibbles to get himself a major league contract from somewhere and so wouldn't be so easy to simply put in AAA storage waiting for a place to use him. Will he be "a good fit" here? ... Yeah, probably ... sure, whatever. I mean, he's a reliever so whodafuckknows - but he's been more on than off in his six year career to date, although less good lately. Turns 31 in a few weeks.

He's like the house that won't move-- decent stuff, terrible location. Also, there's the ex-MFY smell about him (2008-2010).

What's the opposite of a hard on? That's what I have for Alfredo Aceves.

I guess that'd be a soft-off.
