Date	Question	Answer
2009-02-17 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Bryan, have you picked up on Jim Hendry's fondness for Notre Dame players? I'm wondering if you think it's beginning to cloud his judgment (i.e. the acquisition of Aaron Heilman)? (Shane from Bucktown)	I brought this up to Paul Mainieri -- coach of LSU, former coach of Notre Dame, who was with the Irish when Heilman and Samardzija and Grant Johnson and the rest went there. Mainieri laughed, and reminded that the connection runs deeper: Paul and Ryan Dempster are still good friends since Dempster committed to ND (ultimately choosing pro ball out of high school), and infields Ryan Theriot and Mike Fontenot are LSU grads, both of whom Mainieri has become friendly with. Don't be surprised if the Cubs draft a LSU player or two in the upcoming draft ... it's always been a fondness for Mainieri moreso than for Notre Dame. (Bryan Smith)
2009-02-03 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Can you look at the Cubs' dumping of their 'out of option' guys - Pie, Hill, Cedeno - and see anything less than organizational failure? It seemed to be a lot of useful talent being given away for virtually nothing. (ChuckR from Addison, IL)	The timing of the deals, given the return, was disappointing. Why not take these players to Arizona and see if they can raise their trade value? And why trade for Aaron Heilman and trade away Michael Wuertz? I'm not convinced they now possess the better pitcher. Lightning round. (Joe Sheehan)
2008-11-14 13:00:00 (link to chat)	Aaron Heilman for Xavier Nady? Who says no? (Brian from brooklyn)	Well, the Mets already had the pleasure of Nady's company once and moved him along--and the Yankees don't really need Heilman... after last year, I don't know if anyone needs Heilman. I guess he'll bounce back, maybe. (Steven Goldman)
2008-07-29 16:00:00 (link to chat)	Mets send: Aaron Heilman, Scott Shoeneweiss, Dan Murphy, Mike Carp Sox send: Manny and Craig Hansen (Trade Offer Man from Trade Offer Land)	I love these. PLEASE send more of your best ones. I did a contest last year and forgot or I'd have done it again. Answer? No, it's not even close, but I like how you think. (Will Carroll)
2008-06-02 12:00:00 (link to chat)	Xavier Nady is probably the most popular name among NY talk-radio callers trying to fix the Mets' first-base problem. What sort of package are the Pirates likely to ask for in a hypothetical Nady trade? (Jessica from NYC)	I could see Aaron Heilman and a decent hitting prospect getting it done. However, that would also mean the Mets would need to find another set-up guy. (John Perrotto)
2008-02-28 14:00:00 (link to chat)	The Mets need a good 5th starter. How about El Duque, Mike Pelfrey, Ruben Gotay, Marlon Anderson and Aaron Heilman for Ian Snell? (Jay from Flushing)	That plus a ton of Famous Amos hot dogs still doesn't get you Snell, I suspect. Remember, it isn't Littlefield who's picking up the phone any more. (Christina Kahrl)
