Ohiotuber, that's the same reason the Rockies made it. No big egos. Or big salaries, just young kids happy to be there, and a few veterans to guide them. I bet Helton is darned happy he didn't leave the team for more money now. Clint Hurdle (the TMJ poster boy) has done a great job guiding them, with a very low budget compared to some teams I won't mention. Can you imagine the thrill for a minor league player getting the call last winter? "Howdy kid. Want to go up to The Show?"
I love baseball! DANBOB
