Talk:Mets Need to Stand Pat/@comment-204.128.220.20-2006050972546

MetsJetsDevilsRangersYankeesIslanders: Couldn&quot;t disagree more. The difference between Jose Lima and Aaron Heilman in the rotation is far greater than the difference between Chad Bradford or Feliciano picking up the slack for Heilman in the bullpen. It&quot;s simple math -- Heilman has pitched in 14 games (17 IP) in the Mets first 31 games, approximately three innings per week. You&quot;re saying that the Mets don&quot;t have enough depth in their bulpen to cover three innings per week? Also, while Heath Bell wasn&quot;t good last year, he strikes out a man per inning and doesn&quot;t give up many home runs. Check out the Hardball Times article: http://www.hardballtimes.com/main/article/daily-graphing-heath-bell/ Beware, it references those scary, complicated "peripherals." As for your suggested trades....the only reasonable suggestion in the mix is Livan Hernandez. And who would you give up to get him? The Nats aren&quot;t going to do it for Victor Diaz and Jeff Keppinger.
