Heilman next

[kingmike74]

As a Qualls owner, should I grab Heilman? I mean from all I have read/heard, he will be given chances soon.

My only WW saves fliers besides Heilman are Lyon & Gutierez.

if you want to handcuff qualls then heilman is your man. maybe rosa. it wont be anyone else.

I grabbed Heilman (Rosa also blew up the other day) but what I really think will happen is a trade- if they trade for any late-inning reliever then grab that guy immediately.

I agree. The D'backs may have some faith that Heilman can get the job done, but I watched him in 2008 with the Mets, when they couldn't hold a lead to save their life, he was a big part of the reason why (I used to salivate when he came into the game in anticipation of one of the Phils' lefties going yard against him) . In 2009 I didn't see him as much but he was still a far cry from a solid pen option, so I don't have much faith in him and I don't think he can close consistently over the duration of a season...
