It seems like everytime he comes in with guys on base, they score. They need to blow this bullpen up and get more reliable help. I wouldn't mind keeping Sanchez and see if he can get back to form. Feliciano, Show and Heilman need to go. I've been a fan of Heilman and have defended him but this bullpen experiment is over. He had a half season of success and has struggled since. I would love to get Bradford back, he was probably their most reliable in 06. I'd also like to see some of the younger guys get a shot, they can't be much worse.

I think Rincon was used in the wrong situation. He's proven he can get lefties out in his small sample size, and I think he should be saved for the later innings as a bridge to the 9th, not as a garbage-time reliever with a 7-1 lead facing lefties and righties. Heilman has had more shots of redemption this year than I care to count. I like Heilman a lot, and have come around to agree with the people who feel he's been mistreated and miscast by this organization - but no more Heilman this year unless we're down 11-1 or something of that level. Feliciano's two outs last night were the first solid outs he's gotten in about a month it seems - and even then, he still couldn't finish the inning, solid pitches or not. And it still doesn't change my original point about Manuel ... I thought he was going to give "Parnell another look." The 6/7th innings could have been a good time to see that. Is Reyes THAT bad that he can't get a shot over Heilman or Duaner at this point? Is Stokes your set-up guy or not? Why pitch him in the 7th instead of the 8th? Yes, I did watch.

Perez 15 million Krod 15 million 5th starter 10 million That's not out of the question at all considering Pedro, Alou, Elduque and others come off the books.

Perez 15 million
Krod 15 million

Looper, Show, Heilman, and the list goes on. Mets always use that excuse to try and lessen the boos once the crowd turns. Looper, Show, Heilman, and the list goes on.

He is not the go to pinch hitter and is more of a clubhouse prescence than anything else right now. True but he is really not hurting the team right now.

He is wanting Utley money for 6 years or more. He does not have that great of production. Go actually look at the stats. We can get by with Murphy and Castillo (if we don't dump him) to save 15 million. Get Krod Resign Perez Pick up 5th starter like Lowe. I want nothing to do with Hudson.
