It's a tough choice. The way some of the starters have been, Aceves' role out of the bullpen is almost irreplaceable.

Dice-K is dominant compared to the LackeyMillerWakefieldWeiland combo we've thrown out there in September. I'd consider asking Dice-K to throw left-handed if it will get any of those guys off the mound. Honestly, is there any reason NOT to throw Aceves out there as a starter? Most of the games over the last three weeks have been over before the bullpen could help out -- and those that weren't were blown by Bard.
