He would have to hit something like 400 with 30 homers in the second half to get his numbers to expectaion levels at this point. Not likely to happen though it is possible to do.

that only applies to roto leagues. in h2h leagues, as long as he plays at his normal abilities during the fantasy playoffs, he's not a bust at all. and if you didn't make it to the playoffs solely because helton didn't do well during the regular season, your team probably wasn't good enough to win the title anyway. (not "you" specifically, just the general "you.")

That's exactly why I traded for him. My team is in 1st and all I had to give up was Reyes and J Patterson for Helton and Feliz. With Polanco making himself comfortable at 2B I can platoon Feliz and Furcal at SS based on matchups and the team I'm matched up against each week and whether I need the speed or not (I have Crawford too). Long term, and I mean, in September long term, I gotta like Helton over Patterson

The Helton owner I've tried to deal with though throws out quotes such as "you can't argue with math" and "it's a statistical impossibility for Helton to hit under .320". He can keep Helton
