The deal will still be awful, but we'll at least have something to show for it.... If Stokes continues to shine, let’s just all pretend he came over in the Kazmir deal.

The same must be true for Heilman. I actually feel bad for Aaron. Longest tenured Met, and has, on occasion, been very effective as an 8th-inning guy, but his confidence is clearly shot. A stretch run for a pennant is not the time to worry about someone's ego, or hurt feelings. Heilman has been afforded ample opportunity to rectify his problems. He should never see the ball in anything but a mop-up situation, and his spot on the (hopefully) playoff roster needs to go to an arm on which we can depend. Whether that arm is attached to the body of Parnell, or someone else, now is the time to be exploring the options.

Its easy to replace Heilman because it doesn't take much to not give up a two run homer every time you pitch. Anyone in that pen would be more effective than Heilman. I like the idea of Reyes and I like the idea of Rincon. I don't like the idea of Parnell yet because he isn't K-Rod. In all honesty, I think Maine is going to take on that role soon.

Look at K's per 9 innings and Hr's allowed...BTW 66 walks in 148 innings is 4.01 BB/9 IP...That's pretty high. The 114 K's amounts to 6.93 per 9 IP.

I actually liked Manual's thinking trying to get him in a lower pressure situation early in the game up 7-5 and we see how that turned out. Heilman just cant be put in games anymore.
