When we feel you are ready, we'll activate you with the big club, you can start down the stretch. WIFA (whats in it for Aaron? LOL) - well, he sees the light at the end of the tunnel that he starts - and the worst case is he says no and they try to trade him or at the very least, they have him work out his stuff in the minors and then try to trade him mid season. Believe it or not, I still believe he has value.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9183970606894154311.post-20708021052795832382008-05-22T16:15:00.000-04:002008-05-22T16:15:00.000-04:00Gary - I think you have to ask before you assume s...Gary - I think you have to ask before you assume something won't happen. If the fact is that Heil would have to agree, then ASK him. Approach him properly. Give him the chance to cut his chops NOW, which makes him more marketable than he currently is, so it's to his advantage even moreso than the Mets', at this point.<BR/><BR/>Coop, if you're an ignorant slut, then so am I, because once again, we agree...!!!!! :)<BR/><BR/>And you HAVE TO CHECK OUT The Mets Police.... according to the site, Bobby V has suspended his blogging for two months. Hmmm... curious.

So why would he agree to go down?GaryGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11727926768483952942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9183970606894154311.post-40793566033984268072008-05-22T16:08:00.000-04:002008-05-22T16:08:00.000-04:00well done deb!

You know I agree with 110% of what you say here - of course, I think that D Dubs will be the leader of the team - my understanding is that he and Wags are good friends (both VA boys), and DW seems to be following his lead in being the accessible player. I can see him not being so diplomatic soon - he's going to have to be in order to wrest control of the clubhouse. as for delgado, i've been calling for his ass all season - and last season. As for Heilman, I believe he still has options, I put in a call to Joe Janish - the thought someone brought up to me was that he wouldn't clear waivers. But wouldn't waivers not be an issue if he a.) agrees to it and b.) has options?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
