New York Mets

The Mets took 2 of 3 from Florida, sending those playoff hopes into a tailspin. The only game the Marlins won came when Aaron Heilman walked in the winning run. So yes, the Marlins ended the Mets season again because they hate the Mets and Reyes so much, blah, blah, blah. My question would be, how...

You have to wonder what might have happened if the Mets hired a strong GM with a background in development after the 2003 season. Jose Reyes was already with the big club with David Wright soon to follow. There were some interesting players in the system such as Aaron Heilman, Scott Kazmir, Ma...

By Peter Bendix The Mariners also buy low on Aaron Heilman. While he posted a 5.21 ERA last year, he also had a very high home run rate and a low strand rate. It’s unclear whether Seattle intends to use Heilman as a starter or a reliever, but either way, Safeco should help build his trade value back up, allowing th...

By rob@newyorkmetspodcast.com (Robert J. Safuto) It’s been awhile but I’m glad to get back into the saddle. On this podcast I talk about: My reaction to the way the 2008 season endedThe whole Citi Field bailout controversyThe Mets picking up K-Rod and J.J. PutzThe Mets sending Aaron Heilman, Endy Chavez and Joe Smith on their wayThe possibil...

By Howard Megdal The final spot in the bullpen could be a toss-up between Duaner Sanchez, Aaron Heilman and Bobby Parnell. Parnell could probably use a year of seasoning at AAA, but he’d be a fine final man in the bullpen. And should either Sanchez or Heilman return to form, the Mets could give Parnell additio...

By The Geeks Mike: The great Mets teams were known for their pitching. It would be a travesty to replace the legend of Seaver and Gooden with bloated home run totals and team ERAs. As for the apple . . . who doesn’t want the apple? What makes a great ballpark? One without Aaron Heilman in it! Hi-yo!

By Eric Simon Billy Wagner's propensity for eating it hard in big games notwithstanding, he's the Mets' best relief pitcher and still one of the best closers in the National League. Aaron Heilman has been a lot better of late and is probably the Mets' number two, which is far preferable to just plain numb...

It tends to be obscured, but the list of pitchers helped by Rick Peterson was varied and impressive: Ricky Bottalico, Aaron Heilman, Tom Glavine, Roberto Hernandez, John Maine, Oliver Perez, Mike Pelfrey, Darren Oliver, Jorge Julio, Pedro Feliciano and Brian Bannister were all pitch...

By Andrew R. Perez got into trouble again, having to deal with first and third with one out. He then walked Lastings Milledge to load the bases. That’s when Willie Randolph went to the struggling Aaron Heilman, and got burned again. Lopez struck again, this time for a grand slam that pretty much put the gam...

By By BEN SHPIGEL Mets pitcher Aaron Heilman is a proud graduate of Notre Dame, which made Tuesday’s exhibition against one of his alma mater’s hated rivals, Michigan, a matter of great personal interest.

Posted at MLB Trade Rumors Buster Olney heard that the Mets could acquire starter Joe Blanton from the A’s if they’d agree to surrender Carlos Gomez , Aaron Heilman , and Kevin Mulvey . ...

By Jason Stick With 'Em: Oliver Perez, John Maine, Joe Smith, Billy Wagner, Aaron Heilman. (None of these guys is a free agent.) They didn't have perfect seasons -- Perez's final start was all kinds of ugly, Maine seemed to hit the wall a couple of times, Wagner and Heilman had avert-your-eyes weeks a...
