also, mike stanton BLOWS - how are his DIPS so good??
corey koskie, Holla!
at this point heilman is my 5th starter. 2 lefties in the bully would be good.
see, the prob w/ heilman as the #5 guy is that he lacks a third pitch. Take note that his "third pitch", the slider, was only really utilized in 2008, when he posted his worse numbers since his rookie year
