Baseball Blogs Weigh In: Buehrle, Yankees, Rangers

On this date in 2001, Todd Helton signed a nine-year, $141.5MM contract extension with the Rockies, making him the highest-paid player in franchise history.  The first baseman certainly helped his case in his walk year, posting a .372/.463/.698 slash line with 42 homers.  Twelve years later, the 39-year-old sounds pretty sure that this will be his final season.  Here's this week's look around the blogosphere..
