Todd Helton

I've heard some rumors about the possibility of the bone spurs in Todd Helton's back becoming an issue this year. Do you think he's a dangerous investment? Would it be wiser to trade him now while he's hot? I was considering sticking Kevin Millar at 1B and trading Helton for a great OF and a decent starting pitcher, or a great 2B or 3B. Any ideas? I've got more than enough relief, so I could also use one or two of them in a deal. Here's my what my current team looks like:

Jorge Posada - C
Todd Helton - 1B
Mark Ellis - 2B
Tony Batista - 3B
Rafael Furcal - SS
Andruw Jones - OF
Manny Ramirez - OF
Kevin Millar - DH

Bench
Roberto Alomar - waiting for him to heat up
Alex S Gonzalez

Pitchers
Tony Armas
Keith Foulke
Freddy Garcia
Eddie Guardado
Derek Lowe
Mike MacDougal
Pedro Martinez

Bench
Juan Acevedo
Kelvin Escobar
Jesse Foppert
Brett Myers

I'm not terribly worried about Helton at the moment. As of now, this is something to keep an eye on, but not a reason to panic. That said, if the right deal comes along that helps you in several areas, by all means grab it!
