Why the hell are pitchers walking Todd Helton so much,I should ask how many to Todd were intentional ,will Reyes get 50 walks this season?

April was arguably the best month of Reyes' career. New Reyes monthly records in bold.

April 2007
.356 AVG/.442 OBP/.596 SLG/1.038 OPS*
26 R, 37 H, .240 IsoP, 16 BB, 11 K, 17 SB, 4 CS

*tied with June 2006

Amazingly, Reyes hit for more power in both June (.618 SLG, .245 IsoP) & August (.631 SLG, .295 IsoP) of last year. In fact, June 2006 is probably April 07's toughest competition:

.373 AVG/.420 OBP/.618 SLG/1.038 OPS
28 R, 41 H, .245 IsoP, 8 BB, 10 K, 14 SB, 3 CS

But I'm inclined to give April 07 Reyes the nod because of the superior OBP and the extra stolen bases (despite the lower SB%--I blame Willie for the 4th SB, anyway, so . . . ).

Cuz no one hits on that team except him and Holliday. And he hits behind Holliday.
