5th spot in Rotation

[killiansjmd]

With Heilman and Bannister both pitching very well this spring, why do we have to read about them competing against each other for one spot when they both should considered over Zambrano in the rotation??? Let's go with the 5 best!

I agree completely, and that Heilman should be the 4th starter regardless. He filled every roll he was asked well last year and while he may be most valuable for another year in long relief, I think he's quite capable of being a solid #4 starter. It's Zambrano that has me irked, and I really wish the Mets hadn't parted with BOTH Benson and Seo; having Heilman in the rotation is fine by me, but Zambrano is simply useless. Let's see if Peterson can work his magic.
