If they do how would Todd Helton look in a Braves uniform.

Obv this is a stretch but with the way the Rocks are playing dealing Helton is almost a lock.

Hudson's contract jumps from $6 M to $13 M next year, Hampton will still be $8 M, Smoltz will probably cost $10 M to keep, Chipper gets $11 M (if I remember right), $7.3 M for Renteria, and I'm sure I'm forgetting some other significant salaries off the top of my head. The only way the Braves add a big salary this year is if it's an expiring deal and Hampton's insurance money is very large. As far as Helton specifically, I'd rather have Thorman with Salty waiting in the wings than a steadily declining veteran with a huge contract and Colorado's number padding.

I cant believe you think Thorman and Salty are better the Todd Helton!!!
And Helton is not declining last year was his worst year and he still hit .300. Plus he contacted a stomach virus which caused him to lose 25 pounds last year. Hes added that weight back and he is off to a great start this year. Hes probably gonna hit .320 20 HR 100 RBI, not sure the Braves are gonna get that from Thorman.
