RHP Aaron Heilman was acquired from the Cubs for two minor league players Nov. 19, as the Diamondbacks took their first step in adding veteran help to the bullpen. Heilman, 31, was 4-4 with one save and a 4.11 ERA in 70 appearances in 2009, his first season with the Cubs after spending the first six seasons of his career with the Mets. "Aaron has been a successful, durable reliever who will add experience and stability to our bullpen," D-backs general manager Josh Byrnes said. Heilman is 26-37 with 10 saves and a 4.22 ERA in 375 career games. He has one year of arbitration eligibility remaining after playing for $1,625,000 in 2009, and his salary is likely to be in the mid-$2 million range next year. The Cubs acquired LHP Scott Maine and 1B Ryne White in the deal. Maine, a seventh-round pick in 2007, was 4-5 with seven saves and a 2.90 ERA while splitting 2009 between Class AA Mobile and Class AAA Reno. White, a fourth-round pick in 2008, hit .266 with six homers and 52 RBIs at Class A Visalia this year. |
