I know he hasn't lived up to his expectations but that's partly why he's on the block right? We could potentialy get a diamond in the rough here. Not to mention he's young and under contract. I'm not sure that Heilman would be enough but we could package Heilman and ? for him. We could potentially replace our LF and get someone who's equivelent to Delgado's power (30/35+ HRs). Thoughts?

Can we stop with the short sightedness and short-term memory. Heilman is a solid setup man in his prime who is going through a slump. And, he wants to start and yet his is being a good teammate and accepting his role. Why he is treated like a bum is beyond me. He's a great asset to the pen and there's no reason not to think he'll return to form as a reliable 7-8th inning guy. Agreed Zen. Can we stop with the short sightedness and short-term memory.

Alou is not going to play 1B. Everyone gets on Delgado defensively but at least he has played the posiiton. That one really has got to die. Alou is not going to play 1B.

Otherwise, why trade Nady. Also, an above-average everyday player is worth more than an above-average reliever, so it would definitely require more from the Mets. Unless the Pirates think there's a chance they can turn him into in a starter. And, my worry is that the Pirates would undervalue him, weighting too much his recent struggles, and not weighting enough his recent past success.

Middle relievers are fickle. It's just the nature of things. I haven't given up on Heilman, I just hardly see him as untouchable.
