With the Todd Helton mystery stomach illness that doctors think know what is wrong but want additional tests to confirm (is that something doctors do when the initial diagnosis is minor?) the sttus of Ryan Shealy's elbow is of utmost Roto importance.
If Helton's condition is serious, then Shealy could be this year's Ryan Howard - almost literally.
The Denver Post reported on Tuesday that Shealy was going to test the elbow on Wednesday the 19th.
And nothing since.
The firstbaseman at AAA Colorado Springs is Carlos Rivera, and like the rest of his team, he is showing little power (1 HR).
If the Rox were concerned about Helton and Shealy not coming back, I would not have been surprised to see someone like Jeff Baker moved to 1B.
That has not been the case as Rivera has played there in each of the past three games since Helton's ailment.
