Denver Post columnist Mark Kiszla: "Todd Helton is a 100 percent real baseball hero. The most dangerous substance I've ever known Helton to ingest is a fried bologna sandwich. All of Helton's credentials for the Hall of Fame, from the .339 career batting average to his three Gold Gloves, were fueled by white bread and deli meat."

Rocky Mountain News columnist Bernie Lincicome: "No easy puns on the name of this town. This is too serious, too sinister, except to say that it certainly fits. Surprise. Maybe there is a place in Arizona called Bizarre where Todd Helton can play next. Just like that, Helton and steroids are linked."

Orange County Register (registration required): "Mention Ian Stewart's name around the Colorado Rockies' camp, and the word-association test goes straight to a lefty-hitting Scott Rolen. Or maybe a third-base version of Todd Helton."

March 21
Boston Globe: "It appears preposterous to believe Kim will win a job in the Sox bullpen coming out of camp; it appears almost as unlikely the Sox will be able to unload him, even though other clubs say the Sox have indicated a willingness to eat all but $1 million of his contract, provided they get a prospect in return. The Rockies and Brewers have shown interest, but given Kim's performances to date, that interest could dry up in a hurry, if it hasn't already."
Questions about Kim outnumber answers (http://www.projo.com/redsox/content/projo_20050321_21sox.22bed11.html)
March 21
Providence Journal (registration required): "Thanks to his $6-million salary this season, Kim is expected to open the season with the club. The Sox would love to find a team to take him, but have decided that he will be moved only if another team offers something meaningful in return, or willingly assumes the bulk of his salary."
