Mets' Closer Situation

I've heard/read numerous times that the Mets are looking for a closer AND they are willing to trade Heilman.

Heilman didn't have much success as a starter. After seeing him pitch in college as both as starter and reliever, I always thought he was more effective out of the bullpen and always wondered why the Mets were trying to make him a starter. When the Mets moved him to the bullpen this season, he thrived:

46 G

66.0 IP

49 H

1 HR (only ONE home run allowed)

24 BB

72 K

2.18 ERA

He even had five saves (in six chances).

Now maybe it's just me, but perhaps it would be a good idea for the Mets to keep Heilman and use him as a closer. From what I hear, they may offer Billy Wagner a boatload of money. Might not be a bad idea to use that money on some other less expensive, yet effective, bullpen arms and let Heilman close.

There has been random talk on here about whether or not the Cubs should try to get Cameron or Floyd from the Mets. If the Mets are serious about dealing Heilman, and the Cubs actually do make an offer for one of the outfielders (purely hypothetical), it might not be a bad idea to try and get Heilman, as well.
