The decline continues. The OPS by month for Todd has been 1.018, .891, .810, and .782. So far in August, Todd is 1 for 12 with 6 strikeouts and 3 walks (2 intentional). Why Bobby Cox would walk him twice in the same game with an open base is beyond me.
When is this going to become a major story that the press might cover? If it wasn't for the fine play by this team of late, I think Helton's decline would be a story that the media would be covering right now. Todd has to be thankful that the team is playing well. His suckitude as a cleanup hitter is getting more and more glaring to all (except Clint), but is being masked by his teammates.
