Who wants Todd Helton?

[DenverDominance]

With the way the Rockies have started this season Dan O'dowd will probably recieve tons of calls regarding Helton. SO which team best fits him and who do the Rockies get in return?

Well, at least O

The contract

I would be as a Giants fan, but would need to send Winn you way just to offset some of the money.. Winns deal is small compared to Heltons, but the Giants are still budget conscience

Question, how come Helton still bats cleanup, when his skill set screams out "#2 hitter"? In fact, there's no one in baseball I'd rather have as a #2 hitter right now. With a speedster like Taveras on base, there's going to be a hole between first and second, ideal for a line-drive hitting lefty. I'd also want to have Helton's otherworldly OBP in front of both Atkins and Holliday.

Helton is hitting clean-up for a couple reasons.

1) He seperates Atkins and Holliday who are both right handed hitters,
which also seperates Helton and Hawpe who are both left handed hittters.
2) When healthy Taveras and Matsui are 1 and 2 in our order, both have unbelievable speed and matsui can handle the bat pretty well.

We'll give you Willie Bloomquist.

Love the player...Hate the contract. I would easily give up pospect for him if he didnt have SOOO much money owed and the Braves dont have alot to spend...so pass...but not because he sucks

The Rockies will have to pay for a good portion of that contract to get any team to bite.
