According to Dan Graziano and Jeremy Cothran of the Star-Ledger, Billy Wagner thinks Aaron Heilman is the team’s closer of the future, “They just don’t know it yet.”
The Philadelphia Daily News reports on Johan Santana’s first start, adding, “If only the Mets had Santana last September, when they blew a seven-game lead in the NL East with 17 games left, allowing the Phillies to win the division.”

In a column for Gotham Baseball, Mark Healey wonders how Luis Castillo could be ‘a bit banged up’ while not running hard in the first inning of yesterday’s game, yet not be ‘a bit banged up’ while stealing second a few innings later.
Speaking of Healey, also at Gotham Baseball, he is asking fans to vote on the cover for his next magazine.
Lastly, in a post to Big League Stew, ‘Duk asks his readers to help name Eric Gagne’s beard.
