Re: Todd Helton on roids? I don't think so

Yeah, it's just Coors Field (looking at his career splits). Those numbers will still be good though.

Yeah, his BA is what is really jacked up at home (.377 to .298). And he homers about once more every seven ABs at Coors. Oddly enough, he Ks at a much higher frequency on the road (8.7 K/AB at home, 6.5 away).

But, yeah, he'd still be good for .300/30/100 a year on the road, which still equates to a damn good ballplayer, in my book.

Actually, over the past three years he's about a .320/23/87 hitter per 162 games played on the road. Those numbers are hardly earth shattering. Why is it odd that he strikes out more on the road than he does at home? It's pretty well known that pitchers have a much tougher time striking out hitters at Coors Kenavral.
