Todd Helton has been benched by the Colorado Rockies in favor of Jeff Baker, according to The Denver Post. Helton was reportedly steamed about the move during batting practice, but after the game, he said that Baker "played unbelievable" and added "If we win, I could care less how we get it done." So will Helton still see playing time? Are the Rockies going to a platoon situation here?

GDK's first reaction was the same as mine. Either he must be falling down quickly or Colorado...I have no clue.

Even in Colorado, he's suppose to be the big hitter. What happened?
