Heilman maneuver?

By Jeff

The latest and most intriguing trade rumor involving the Cardinals also involves the Mets, who are allegedly discussing sending Aaron Heilman for … wait for it …

Jason Marquis.

My first reaction was that it doesn’t seem like it would be a very good deal for the Mets, for reasons obvious to Cardinals fans. But author Will Carroll describes Heilman thusly:

Once expected to be a rotation fixture, the pitcher has instead found a home in the bullpen.

Kinda sounds like our boy Adam Wainwright. If this deal possibly could happen, we can finally move the Wainwright boy into the rotation. Time to see what he can do for six innings.
