You don't always get what you want

Marty Noble at Mets.com, answers some questions and the ever looming Aaron Heilman to the rotation question:


Why don't the Mets consider using Heilman as a starting pitcher? He wants to be a starter and has been a successful and consistent setup man. Why not give him the opportunity to be a starting pitcher? The Mets may have a 15- to 20-game winner without having to pay a fortune.-- Bob K., Montvale, N.J.

Even after the Mets are confident of the return of Sanchez, they will have a need for Heilman in the bullpen. They believe he is a greater asset pitching three of four times a week rather than once every fifth day, and they're inclined to think his abilities as a setup man are greater than his abilities as a starter.

That Heilman prefers to start has little bearing. I wanted to be a disc jockey in 1957 and don't have that job.
