Heilman’s Chance

Looks increasingly like Aaron Heilman may end up taking Kris Benson’s slot in the rotation for the next few weeks (although for Saturday he’s unavailable), as the Mets’ hopes for ever putting the “on paper” 2005 Mets on the field grow dimmer. In December 2003, I looked at the prospects for guys who get pounded as badly as Heilman as rookies. Me, I’d still give Jae Seo the shot.
