It really doesn't matter, as it's all academic at this point.

HIS RECORD MAY BE TAINTED BUT BASEBALL GM'S KNOW A 95 MPH FASTBALL DOESN'T GROW ON TREES, THAT SAID, WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO PKG HIM FOR SOMETHING SOLID. I THINK AT THIS POINT HIELMAN IS IN NEED OF A NEW ENVIRONMENT, HE HAS TAKEN A POUNDING PSYCHOLOGICALY AND IF YOU ASK ME I THINK HE'S A PRETTY TOUGH COOKIE, BUT BEING BOOED WHILE WARMING UP IN THE BP IS MORE THAN ANY PITCHER CAN TAKE.

This makes complete sense. I never thought of that angle before. Sign this man up for GM. Very good point. This makes complete sense. I never thought of that angle before.

Sign this man up for GM.

Is he kidding or what. You were a TERRIBLE Starter and was saved from being a bust when moved to the bullpen where after a real-good season you began to stink-up Shea in the post season and got SO bad by late last season that, even as a long time die-hard I began to laugh out loud at your/ our ineptitude. Please,Omar, Give him his wish, Let him start. In Kansas City. First thought upon reading the story: Aaron,stfu!

I would rather put him and Niese in the rotation as opposed to going broke with Perez and Lowe. Look to upgrade at 2B and LF and by all means improve the bullpen. If heliman and Niese do not work out upgrade in the summer-there will be options then. Whjy are we overpaying for mediocre pitchers especially in the case of Perez- who we know is not worth the money. Heilman is under contract-give him the oportunity and focus on the other areas.
