    Todd Helton retires, thoughts?
    Todd Helton will retire at the end of the season after spending 17 years with the Colorado Rockies and setting franchise records in nearly every offensive category.


    Lot of crickets from the pundits, this week.
    ML:B Network and Larry Walker had a few words.

      Interesting that it allows you to renew pro without having the points.

      Helton will be a great example of the Coors Field effect. His power disappeared after they implemented the humidor.

      Bichette, Castilla, and Galarraga are other good examples.

        Dude's a fukkin' pro. And wore those ugly-ass Rockies uniforms for 17 seasons, never chased the $$$.

          I have nothing but respect for Todd Helton. He has been a productive player in the big leagues for many years. I wish him nothing but the best in his retirement. It's probably time due to his age and how bad the Rockies are. He has to be sick of losing, I would think.

              I'm guessing they let me renew(Pro) because I had the points in the SBR sportsbook.

                guy is a first ballot hall of famer. if he ever played in a big market in his prime he would have been an absolute star. dont wan't to hear the Coors Field shit. his numbers on road were just as good.

                Helton is a career .317 hitter and has 367 home runs, 1,397 RBIs, 1,394 runs, a .415 on-base percentage and a .539 slugging percentage in 2,235 career games. He was an All-Star from 2000 to 2004 and will end his career as the Rockies’ leader in games, hits, doubles, home runs, RBIs, runs and walks.
                Earlier this month, Helton became the 96th player in major league history to reach the 2,500-hit milestone. According to the Rockies, he joins Hall of Famer Stan Musial as the only players in major league history with at least 2,500 hits, 550 doubles, 350 home runs and a .310 or higher career batting average.

                  The Craig Biggio of Colorado! Just a good solid player never a superstar, and showed up every day for the same crappy team for too long!
