03/11/2010 - Tucson, AZ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Colorado Rockies and first baseman Todd Helton have agreed to terms on a two-year contract extension that will allow him to finish his career with the franchise.
The new deal will take Helton through the 2013 season. He has also agreed to defer a portion of his contract over a 10-year period beginning in 2014.
"This is a great commitment for both the organization and me," Helton said in a statement from the team. "Potentially, it allows us to continue to put a championship caliber club on the field and allows me the opportunity to finish my career as a Colorado Rockie. Because I am a Rockie."
Helton is the franchise's all-time leader in nearly every offensive category. The five-time NL All-Star was selected by the Rockies in the first round of the 1997 draft and made his big league debut later that season.
The 36-year-old veteran is a career .328 hitter with 325 homers and 1,202 runs batted in over 1,812 games. Last season, he batted .325 with 15 homers and 86 RBI in 151 games.
"His commitment to the standard of team, his strength of character and the mutual trust and accountability between Todd and the organization made the extension right for both of us," said Rockies general manager Dan O'Dowd.
Helton is just the fifth player in big league history with 500 doubles, a .325 average and 320 homers. The others are Hall of Famers Stan Musial, Ted Williams, Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth.

New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.
The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.
MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.
Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.
