Helton has Sunday off
Rockies manager Jim Tracy looked at the schedule and saw, well, a lot of games. this is the seventh game of an 11-game, 11-day road trip. when the Rockies dome home, they play three with the Mariners before finally getting their first day off since May 28. So, Sunday is as good a time as any to sit first baseman Todd Helton, who was 1-for-6 in the first two games with the Cardinals. Sunday is Helton’s first game out of the starting lineup since May 17 at Pittsburgh.
Here are Sunday’s lineups:
Rockies
Dexter Fowler, CF
Clint Barmes, 2B
Brad Hawpe, RF
Garrett Atkins, 1B
Ian Stewart, 3B
Carlos Gonzalez, LF
Troy Tulowitzki, SS
Paul Phillips, C
Ubaldo Jimenez, P
Cardinals
Skip Schumaker, 2B
Colby Rasmus, CF
Albert Pujols, 1B
Rick Ankiel, RF
Chris Duncan, LF
Yadier Molina, C
Joe Thurston, 3B
Brendan Ryan, SS
Joel Piniero, P

Thomas- With Spilborghs getting some serious bench time, and Gonzalez looking good in the outfield (thus far), what are the chances that they’re going to trade Spilborghs? I also read an article about including Brad Hawpe in a deal. Would the Rockies really give away one of their best sluggers plus a favorite in Colorado?
