How could he possible summon the confidence to ever truly put together a noteworthy campaign here again. He doesn't seem the type to shake off this kind of thing easily, so let's make it easy and send him away with Perez, in a package like that he becomes valueable.TWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04619620902215995000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7094682562158691055.post-8881289587259491732008-05-22T13:08:00.000-04:002008-05-22T13:08:00.000-04:00You see, I think Aaron is starter material - far m...You see, I think Aaron is starter material - far more valuable than a middle reliever which he is doing a horrible job at now. However, (like Lastings Milledge who was being showcased as a CF as trade bail but sucked as a RF or LF with the big team) since he has only been showcased as a middle reliever, we're not gonna get that much out of him. Someone brought up to me that Heilman would never clear waivers to take a vacation at AAA to work on his stamina - but i may be wrong, I think he still has ONE option left. Remember all the talk in 2006 about sending him down to make him a starter but it couldn't happen b/c Duaner sanchez got hungry? anyway, Perez is FAR more valuable and will get a lot more in return in a trade than Heilman will. Hate to say it, 'tis true.<BR/><BR/>I know that trading Beltran prob isn't in the best interests of the team either, but if he could waive his NTC he could be another team's treasure - lets face it, he hates NY, probably hates that he ever came here and his previously inflated contract will be a bargain compared to others out there (hello Zito, Sori, etc). But I doubt it, b/c who else do they have to play CF? Carlos Gomez would have been the heir apparent but of course, he's no longer with us. <BR/><BR/>I said all along in the offseason - although I was ape for Johan - that it would expose the lack of depth in the organization and no plan B, C or X Y or Z.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7094682562158691055.post-67588917623043063102008-05-22T12:01:00.000-04:002008-05-22T12:01:00.000-04:00Your unflinching support of Heilman is mind-boggli...Your unflinching support of Heilman is mind-boggling and thevery reasons you give for keeping him is precisely why we'll be able to free him with Perez and that would be now, not in July.TWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04619620902215995000noreply@blogger.com
