Read: Heilman Settling into Seattle
Steve Kelley of The Seattle Times catches up with former Met Aaron Heilman to ask him about his role with the Mariners this year and his time in New York.
Heilman, as quoted by Kelley:
“Playing in New York is the only existence I’ve known and I think you get used to it. You learn to accept the fact that you are dealing with a very passionate, very knowledgeable fan base.”
“New York’s one of those markets where unless you win the World Series, it’s not a good year. I certainly didn’t look at it as I really wanted to get out of New York. I was kind of looking forward to going back and showing that last season was an aberration and to get back to what I normally can do.”
…i’ve always said that i think the guy just needed a change of scenery and i’m look forward to seeing what he does with it on the left coast…i thought that he always looked upset on the mound, but after seeing the shot of him in the article, i guess he just always looks like that…maybe he was actually calm out there, who knows…
