Buzz: Mets reconsider Heilman for Rotation
According to WFAN’s Ed Coleman, there are ‘people inside the Mets’ who are back in favor of moving RHP Aaron Heilman to the starting rotation, assuming he can be replaced in the bullpen.
…well, i’m sure this is music to heilman’s ears, since he is entering 
salary arbitration, where he’ll be valued as a set-up man, all while he believes he can succeed as a starter, and likely lock down a much better contract in years to come…
…business aside, for what it’s worth, i have always been in favor of at least considering heilman during the spring…i don’t understand what can be lost by at least trying, assuming the team’s bullpen is in order…however, i have always understood the logic coming from the team, which has been that heilman has been successful in his current role, he helps the team, he is a question mark in the rotation, so leave him where he’s at…
…the thing is, considering the free-agent market, and this team’s struggles to make a trade, maybe it finally makes more sense to just focus on improving the bullpen, while giving heilman a chance to start again…
