Helton was a very good player who will always be downgraded a bit by playing in Colorado. But his numbers are really good for 5 or 6 years

5 or 6 years?? He played 35 games in '97. Starting in '98 he hit over .300 for 10 straight seasons. His OBP was over .400 for the last 8 straight of those 10 seasons. Also had 8 straight years where his SLG % was over .500 and 4 of those years it was over .600, including 2000 where he was damn close to .700.

he played in Colorado. He had 6 seasons where the numbers were great even for there but Coors field was such a good hitters park it is hard to get an accurate read on him, Larry Walker too.

Frank thomas has great numbers but was mainly a 1st baseman for 4 season because he was a brutal fielder. Palmiero has numbers and was a really good player but is more tainted than even McGuire. Morneau is looking like a really good 1st baseman too but needs to do it longer, Giambi had a few great years at the plate but juiced and was always a bad fielder, Delgado was a great hitter but not so great in the field. Who else is there?
