Well, just looking at his season, he's been pitching better recently. More strikeouts per outing on average, for example.
I would, TOMORROW put Heilman in the closer's spot..BTW I can't understand why Minaya didn't make a move..MEets have one of the strongest top to bottom rotations in all of baseball.. Benson ahs arguable been putching better than Pedro..at least his equal. You have Seo in the minors, Heilman in the bullpen..Glavine and Zambrano workmanlike..Trachsel about to return, Ischi sometimes looking good.. there was a solid basis to do SOMETHING there..but I think he ghad to keep his options open in case he needed to sweeten the pot for the Manny deal..
