Top Sport Players -Todd Helton Fantasy Player Of Base Ball

Todd Helton is a fantasy baseball machine. Of all players currently active in MLB, he has the highest career batting average. Only Hall of Fame inductee Tony Gwynn has a higher career average since World War II. Todd Helton holds virtually every Colorado Rockies offensive record, serving as the first "great" player on the expansion Rockies.

One might be tempted to take points off from Helton's 11 years of service with the Rockies for the fact that he performs at Coors Field. While the thinner air in the Mile High City might inflate Helton's home run totals somewhat, Todd's hallmark is his contact numbers, not his power numbers.

Whatever the case, fantasy owners aren't going to grouse about artificially inflated numbers due to a ballpark. Those are the kind of advantages those of us in fantasy baseball exploit.
