The nibbling is what gets him in trouble, methinks
Consensus seems to be that he should attack the zone more.

Heilaman can be an effective setup man
He just needs to start trusting his ability. He has sharp movement on his pitches and if he learns to go after the hitter he will easily become a reliable setup man.
