bonds, sosa, giambi, does anyone think that maybe the todd helton suspicions are more accurate than they were first made out to be?
im a fan of helton's. think he's a terrific pure hitter. but i dont know. is it just than coincidence that he gets accused of using steroids in the offseason, and now this guy who is batting well over .300 for his career is now hitting .266 had a slump of something like 4 for 50 that he recently broke out of?
i know he was pretty outspoken about the charge being bogus, and then the guy who made the allegation retracted his comment saying he was misquoted, but it makes you wonder.
im not a colorado fan and dont watch a lot of rockies games, so i dont know if he is just swinging at bad pitches or if, indeed, his swings that used to be homers are turning into long fly outs. of course a counterpoint would be that he has little help in that lineup with larry walker gone. but still think the whole helton story is getting lost in the shuffle since bonds, sosa, and giambi are taking all the heat and helton is an all-american boy playing in relative obscurity in colorado.
and incidentally, anyone have any thoughts on larry walker looking like jeromy burnitz and vinny castilla (guys who can hit the shit outta the ball in coors, but not doing much outside of denver). obviously hes better than both of those guys, but still think he should be hitting better than .248, especially in that loaded cards lineup
