group disagree with this, but in my opinion, the Mets are a much better

bullpen.


The Mets would be a much better team is Heilman was pitching 250 innings
as a starter and Bannister was given one more season at AAA.

What, again, is Heilman's career mark as a starter? His ERA as a starter
is, what, about 6?



A good spring does not make a starter on a playoff headed team out of a AA
pitcher never considered even at the top of the Mets feeding chain.


That's not the opinion of those who've seen him pitch over the past year or
so. Perhaps there's a reason the Mets dealt Petit, and not Bannister.
