February 22, 201115 yr I'm glad this team can be surrounded by such professionalism. This team owes so much to Wes Helms. Like... that one walk-off HR in Milwaukee. And... and... We can walk off on the road now? :o I see what you did there (too lazy to get the Fry image). Yes. Tis the value of Sir Wesley Helms professionalism.
February 22, 201115 yr Baseball is a fickle game. After an off-year (for whatever reason(s) justified or not) it wouldn't be surprising if Helms gets a few key hits and is a hero every so often. That said, even if he does it'll be hard to justify any contract at all beyond this year. If he plays even an inning in '13 I'll have to conclude that he has pictures of someone. I look at his #s from last year as more than a fluke. More a matter of circumstances. Using him to PH when it needed to be a lefty off the bench, not having one, and thrusting him into that role. The team knew it was a mistake, but could really do nothing about it. I want to see what he does, if he can rebound, when we have the bench that we need. And like I said, Wes's role is way down on my list of worries going into ST.
