We've all seen what Aaron Heilman can do. He's had an up and down year, with a horrendous start, a miraculous June, and now what seems like another terrible rough patch.
This is the guy, right now, you would want to close games for the New York Mets if Billy Wagner has to go to the DL? In his last four appearances, Heilman has given up 7 earned runs in 6 1-3 innings. His ERA ballooned over .60 points.
Eddie Kunz was the closer for Binghamton for most of the year. If the Mets are willing to give Heilman a shot at saving games, Kunz should be given the same chance. Plus, opposing players haven't seen this guy pitch, they won't be ready for him. Most players have seen Heilman pitch, and probably have hit off of him.
Give Kunz a shot.
This should also serve as an impromptu poll. If you think Eddie Kunz should close, say so in the comments. If you think Aaron Heilman should, again, hit the comments.
