ESPN.com - Major League Baseball - Rockies, Helton ponder lifetime contractI have a hard time understanding why either party would be interested in signing up for a total of 12 years (2 current ones and a 10-year extension).
Perhaps Helton and his agent feel the dollar amounts can't possibly get higher.
Perhaps the Rockies feel he will hit .400 next year and drive his value even higher.
I'm probably getting excited for nothing.
