Ben (Brooklyn, NY): The Mets just traded for Luis Ayala in their desperate attempt to shore up their bullpen, but can he actually help? This year he has been awful, with an ERA over 5. Is there anyone else they can trade for/pick up for some more consistency?
Buster Olney: Ben: I just think he's depth, and as we've seen with relievers, they can get hot or cold very suddenly, and without explanation. There really aren't any quality relievers to be had, and presumably, they won't be in position to pick up Brian Fuentes when he comes through waivers; presumably, the Dodgers and the D-Backs will both place claims. Let's face it: The Mets' bullpen will be as good, in the next six weeks, as Aaron Heilman is.

One is hard pressed to think of a bleaker prognosis than that. Wow. Talk about telling the patient he only has 6 weeks to live.
I am terrified and excited at the same time...
Well, the prognosis just got grimmer as Wags' elbow is inflamed and he is now listed as out "indefinitely," perhaps for the season.
Heilman and Ayala will get it done.
Write. It. Down.
told ya. mets win. heilman give up no runs, non earned, no hits, no walks.
Nice outing!
I agree, as long as heilman is kept out of the game there is a 100% chance he gives up 0 runs.
nice job pelf!
