According to Adam Rubin, Aaron Heilman could be demoted to Triple-A New Orleans in an attempt for the former set-up man to regain his form. Replacing him could be Carlos Muniz, who has pitched very well for the Zephyrs (2-2, 1.80, 5 SV, 8 BB, 17 SO, .192 BAA).

I’m all for this move. I’ve discussed why I think Heilman should be traded, but if that doesn’t work out, why not give him some time to try and work out his problems in a no-stress atmosphere? As far as I can see, since Heilman has been so bad, there’s really no downside.
