Helton Packing Bags?

News out of Ybor City has the Rollers in talks with an unnamed team. These talks supposedly involve a top Ybor player, rumored to be Todd Helton. The rumor surfaced this morning on the Roller team board and simply stated, "Word has surfaced out of Ybor that Todd Helton's name has come up in trade discussions. More news as it becomes available."

The first basemen has spent the past 6 plus years in Ybor, and ranks among their all time most prolific hitters. He is also poised to pass the recently retired Babe Ruth for the all time LP2 record for career doubles. Helton currently has 493 to Ruth's 524.

Could Helton, who has led the Rollers to the top of the heap over the past 6 years actually be heading to another team? "I'm just looking to play some ball," said Todd, "Wherever I play I'm going to make the best of it."
