August 18, 201114 yr http://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/nationals/braves-bring-in-additional-bat-for-playoff-race-signing-if-wes-helms-to-a-minor-league-deal/2011/08/17/gIQANIH9LJ_story.html ATLANTA — The Atlanta Braves are bringing back infielder Wes Helms, signing him to a minor league deal less than a week after he was released by the Florida Marlins. The Braves said Wednesday that Helms will report to Triple-A Gwinnett this weekend and likely join the Braves when the rosters are expanded Sept. 1 to provide another right-handed bat off the bench.
August 18, 201114 yr Author Yeah hopefully he brings some nice suckage to the Braves in Sept. and they choke the chicken, and lose the Wildcard......I'm not betting on that, but we can cross our fingers I guess.
August 18, 201114 yr I'm doubting he makes the postseason roster. But if he does - he'll win NLDS MVP. For the other team.
August 18, 201114 yr But in all seriousness, I wish Wes the best of luck in all his future endeavors.
August 18, 201114 yr He will probably come back and kill us, time and time again. Karmas a bitch :liar
August 18, 201114 yr Anyone else notice the Phillies got better after they got rid of Helms, maybe it could happen to the Marlins :nugget
August 18, 201114 yr Tears of sorrow, tears of joy! I pointed and laughed, at the ones I wanted to destroy!
August 18, 201114 yr I really don't get the hate for Wes. I hope he goes on a monster tear and gets somebody else to pay him buckets of cash.
August 18, 201114 yr I really don't get the hate for Wes. I hope he goes on a monster tear and gets somebody else to pay him buckets of cash. SO......he could sit home and get paid by the Marlins for the rest of the 1M....or go to Braves AAA.......hmmmmmmm. I would sit at home only if I get both. Certainly wouldn't lose the rest of the 1M

August 19, 201114 yr The final piece to their championship puzzle. He's their Darren Daulton. :mischief
