Matthew Artus at Always Amazin takes a look at Aaron Heilman’s poor start this season where he has given up 2 runs in three straight outings.

Artus wonders what the future holds for Heilman beyond this year with talk by Willie Randolph and Billy Wagner regarding him being the future Mets closer.

Yesterday, Jon Heyman told WFAN that “Other teams wonder why he is not a starter.”

The uncertainty of Duaner Sanchez is putting a lot of pressure on Heilman to lock down that 8th inning. In a perfect world Heilman would be the 7th inning guy, with Duaner setting up Wagner. That remains to be seen, and hopefully when Duaner is expected to return next week, we will see guys settle into their roles and get the job done.
