Aaron Heilman - Addition by Standing Pat (F/A Chart)

Where would Aaron Heilman rank IF he was a member of the 2009 free agent class as a starting pitcher? I ranked the top 20 free agent starters in terms of what I feel their 2009 output. From 2008 salaries and what one can project each to make in 2009, Heilman at 2-3 million after arbitration is a steal!

Compared to other pitchers on this list, Heilman's salary in both 2009 and 2010 seems like a bargain. He may not be popular but he can be quite useful to the Mets.
