Top of the tenth inning, facing Jose Mesa, a pitcher Helton had failed to tally a career hit against. Helton turned on a pitch yanking a majestic homerun into the right field seats of PNC Park. In a year where Helton has struggled mightily at the dish, managing just 11 home runs to date, it was a welcome sight for Rockies fans who were quickly reminded of the potential greatness of the left handed hitting first baseman. Problem is, so was the rest of the league. On a team, after Saturday?s 5-3 loss to the Pirates, that has a dismal record of 34-62, no player is untouchable, hall of fame numbers or not. The Rockies wouldn?t really do it though, would they? They wouldn?t dare trade the face of the franchise, and the only member of the team that many fans would be able to distinguish from a random police line-up? With the no waiver trade deadline looming less than a week away we are about to find out.
