Is Todd Helton a HOF'er



After cashing in their collective chips on the 2009 season by losing 3 out of 4 to the pitiful San Diego Padres, the Reds parlayed that anti-momentum into a 3 game sweep at the hands of the Colorado Rockies. One note of interest that occurred to me while listening Jeff Brantley destroy the English language and say, " right down Broadway " 16 times in two innings was, Is Todd Helton HOF worthy? He feels like a no, his numbers say yes. His most productive season happened in the early aughts, the heart of the steroid era, which raises questions about him juicing. Which raises questions about his numbers which are his strongest argument for a plaque hanging in Cooperstown.

Helton may get to the HOF, but needs several more productive years. With just over 2000 hits plus the benefit of playing in Colorado he is not worthy at the present time.

Why so mean to the Cowboy?
