Todd Helton + 30 lbs.
Has anyone else heard that Helton added 30 lbs of muscle this winter? ESPN reported this yesterday. That is IMPOSSIBLE without steroids. That is ridiculous. I can't find any pictures of him right now online. He is going to look ridiculous if he did gain that much in muscle.

Re: Todd Helton + 30 lbs.
![]() IIRC, he lost about 15-20 lbs last year due to illness. So perhaps his +30 weight is really only +10-15.

Re: Todd Helton + 30 lbs.
With that goat on his face, the side profile, the black uni, and little belly, he looks like Ozzie Guillen.

Re: Todd Helton + 30 lbs.
With the weight added and also the addition of the full goatee and he does look different....a tad like a Bagwell, maybe?

Re: Todd Helton + 30 lbs.
I was thinking more like Sean Casey...

Re: Todd Helton + 30 lbs.
Clearly Todd's aiming to be among the cream of the crop this season.

Re: Todd Helton + 30 lbs.
Didn't a broadcaster (with a Cardinals and Rockies connection) say something to the effect that Helton was a juicer? Helton proceeds to go ballistic (steroid induced?), then the broadcaster retracted the statement. Somebody help me out, Bueller, Bueller?

Re: Todd Helton + 30 lbs.
Ex-Rockies announcer Wayne Hagin (1996-2003) accused Helton and then retracted. Me thinks he only retracted b/c he did not have concrete evidence (audio or video).

Re: Todd Helton + 30 lbs.
If you remove the words "of muscle," I disagree. The guy from Supersize me did it in a month, and I did it my first semester of graduate school.
