Ohlendorf for Heilman?

If you're Brian Cashman would you do it? The knock on Cashman has been his inability to secure long term starting pitching. Any team would have taken Pavano so we'll leave him out of this. But there's a plethora of other questionable acquisitions I'll spare you. Heilman is a pitcher that needs to start. He has a very good change up that keeps getting hit out of the park in the 8th inning for the metropolitans. He needs a change. Ohlendorf is being stretched out in the Yankee bullpen. Are they grooming him to be a starter? Are they interested in his stamina? He is still young. And he's 6'4, 240 lbs. He's got 20 strikeouts in 20 innings so far this year for the Yankees. Not bad. Heilman is a cheap option. He's a free agent at the end of 2008. Mets fans have had enough of Aaron Heilman. Seriously. Get him out.

I asked Shorty-Lowe if he'd trade 6 ice houses for Aaron Heilman. He said Heilman isn't worth $4.31. I think he forgot to factor in the $0.05 deposit per can. But he's only an econ major so what do you want from him. George W. Bush was an econ major. As was every president since JFK. I'm ending this conversation before I start going off on the current state of the economy.

Bottom line. Minaya should wine and dine Cashman and get us a reliever that has a different first name then James Shields' first cousin, whose batting stance is atrocious. (He plays CF for the worst team in baseball)
