Helton to get more days off '10: Todd Helton's wish for the upcoming season is to make it through the grind with a little bit more left in his tank come October. Jason Giambi's return to Denver should help him accomplish that goal. Giambi's $1.75 million, one-year contact with the Colorado Rockies was finalized Thursday, a deal that allows Giambi to spell Helton at first base and serve as a pinch hitter. "Last year was probably the first year I really felt tired at the end of the season," Helton said recently. "I'd like to have something left at the end of the season so I can maybe hit a home run. ... Some of this is my fault. I'll take care of myself a little bit better and work a little bit harder so I can be ready at the end of the year." Giambi's presence should make that a whole lot easier. GM O'Dowd said Giambi's return doesn't mean the Rockies will ditch their plan to try right fielder Brad Hawpe some at first base, however. "That's not going to be an experiment we abandon," O'Dowd said. "As much depth and versatility that we can create with our 25-man roster, we're going to do that in the spring. So, Brad will be looked at in the spring at first base, too. We'll see if he's capable of doing it, what his comfort level is, all those things. But again, that's what spring training is for."

Fantasy Analysis
Helton is more of a latter-round pick at the deep first base position at this point in his career. There are far better, younger options and losing at-bats to Giambi and perhaps Hawpe won't help either.
