Are you basing your assessment on Heilman based on half a season with one of the worst pitching coaches in Vern Ruhle? Heilman has been one of the best pitchers in AAA over the last month.
I think its unfair to make a definitive judgement on what Heilman is worth after watching him for half a season.

The pitching coach didn't pitch last season, Heilman did. And he stunk. And I don't care if he's been pitching lights out for Norfolk the last month, since he was HORRIBLE for the three months before that. One good month doesn't make him ready for the majors. I'm not saying he's worthless, and I'm not saying that he's a bust (although things are looking that way right now), but I am saying that his rating is too high in ESPN 2K4 and I am saying that he's not a major league pitcher right now, cannot be counted on, and as a Mets fan I do not want him pitching for the big club this season.
Just looked up his stats... 4.65 ERA, 110.1 innings, 120 hits, 42 BB, 94 Ks, 57 ER, 71 R. That doesn't impress me, even though he must have been on fire for a bit to get his ERA under 5.50.
