That's not a misprint. Jim Tracy has finally waived his "CarGo can't play CF" rule. He's also moved him into the lead-off position, which is probably the last place you'd want to put a guy that's showing no patience. Maybe he's hoping he'll be forced to develop some hitting there. We shall see. Helton hitting third is well deserved for him, but I can't say I'm overwhelmingly optimistic about these changes.

The Rockies will play a man down as no move on Dexter Fowler has been made but he's still too sore to play.

  1. CF Chris Denorfia
  2. SS Jason Bartlett
  3. 3B Chase Headley
  4. LF Ryan Ludwick
  5. RF Brad Hawpe
  6. 1B Jorge Cantu
  7. 3B Alberto Gonzalez
  8. C   Kyle Phillips
  9. P   Clayton Richard
