Could you imagine the Colorado Rockies linking up once again with former longtime first baseman Todd Helton? Instead of hitting doubles and driving in runs, this time Helton would aid in such a feat — potentially as Colorado’s next hitting coach.
Helton, 42, has been out of the game for over two years now since announcing his retirement during the 2013 season. During his final hurrah as a member of the Rockies, Helton slashed at a line of .249/.314/.423 with 22 doubles, 15 home runs and 61 RBI’s. Not bad for a 40-year-old finishing up a 17-year career.
