Tartans,

I think our pen has plenty of good help even better than some of the guys we have up right now.  Peterson did a great job turning a few guys around last year, but has done nothing with Sosa, Mota and Schoenwise.  I say leave this one alone.  The walks scare me.  The ERA isn't a total scare factor but the walks are enough to keep me thinking we should be fine there.  We really need to think about another SP and a 1B.  SP we wont get anyone worthy enough until towards the trade deadline and 1B well who knows.  Delgado has been known to help sway others to our ballclub and I think the club having such a high tolerance for Delgado is a way to show their respect.  He helped sway Castillo who in turn helped sway Santana as well as the big contract.  So indirectly he helped get us Santana. 

This game can be so intriguing if you look at the whole picture.  We as fans tend to be too narrow minded to include myself at times.

Tartans, I am also undecided, if so who do we get rid of...I truely believe Heilman needs a change of scenery....I do think Heilman can help someone, he he stays with us then he needs to settle down and be the Heilman we used to know....

It just seems he comes in and he gives up runs all the time, and balls are being hit hard somewhere...

Who knows...someone will pick up Turnbow, wouldnt be surprised to the Braves do it as their pen needs help...

I'm on the fence.  Looking at his Stats, the walks would worry me, but watching that guy throw.  When he was on ... Pretty impressive.  Derrick Turnbow can really light up the radar gun.  But the Brewers brouhgt in Eric Gagne to be their closer for a reason ... Could it be that they had no confidence in Turnbow?

Don't the Mets have any fiery arms down in the minors that could come in and relieve once in a while?  Wasn't Eddie Kuntz supposed to be a fire baller similar to Derrick Turnbow?
