Brian Fuentes to visit Mets

According to the Denver Post, free agent Brian Fuentes will visit New York as the free agent process rolls on.

The article notes that the Rockies will offer arbitration to Fuentes, but he will turn it down and look elsewhere for work. It also brings up Colorado's Huston Street and the discussions they've had with the Mets regarding him and Aaron Heilman.

Nothing new there to note, but the lone comment on this article really hits home. From Warren G.:
Aaron Heilman is another scrub who will come in and blow games. And starting? He wants to start? He would be just another over-paid #5 of the rotation starter whom loses his job to some AAA prospect by August.
Seems like Mets fans aren't the only ones who hold this sentiment about Heilman.
