Let’s trade another good young pitcher to the D-Rays, since it worked out so well last time . . .
According to the Tampa Tribune, the Mets and Devil Rays are considering a trade to send Aaron Heilman (he of the 4th-best-starter-that’s-been-relegated-back-to- the-pen because of the best 16 innings pitched by Brian Bannister - lifetime) in exchange for middle infielder Julio Lugo. According to Rotoworld, Heilman would start immediately should the trade be made. Mets reliever Heath Bell has also been mentioned in talks. If consummated, it would certainly turn out better than the last deal, that send uber-stud Scott Kazmir to the Devil Fish for Victor Zambrano.
