Relief Pitcher: Spin Street, who Mets don’t Love
According to the San Francisco Chronicle, 
the Rockies may look to ‘spin’ Huston Street to the Mets, Tigers, Indians or Brewers.
However, as Ken Davidoff writes in Newsday, ‘The Mets don’t love Street, and the Mariners, who want to contend in 2009, could hold onto J.J. Putz.’
Interesting, in that the Rockies, along with the Cardinals, Cubs and D’Backs, have interest in Heilman, according to Adam Rubin in last Tuesday’s Daily News.
…also, from what i recall, the Rockies expressed interest in heilman during the trade deadline…
…i wonder if the Rockies would be interested in heilman…in that they’d be trading a set-up man in street, who is under contract through 2010, in exchange for heilman, who they could use as a starting pitcher, and who is under contract through 2010…
…nevertheless, i get the sense that street will not be traded until later in the off season, after Francisco Rodriguez and Brian Fuentes have signed, when the demand for a late-inning bullpen arm can go up…
…which works just fine for the Mets, who, i believe, prefer to utilize the free-agent market for a closer, then use the trade market to support the rest of the bullpen…
