Lineup Card: 6-22-11 Rockies @ Indians



Colorado Rockies (37-36)
  1. CF Carlos Gonzalez
  2. 2B Jonathan Herrera
  3. DH Jason Giambi
  4. SS Troy Tulowitzki
  5. RF Seth Smith
  6. 1B Ty Wigginton
  7. 3B Chris Nelson
  8. RF Ryan Spilborghs
  9. C   Matt Pagnozzi
SP Jason Hammel

So we're looking at off days for Todd Helton (needed one), Charlie Blackmon (definitely needed one) and Chris Iannetta (always could use one).

Good job by Jim Tracy to do it with the off day tomorrow, which buys a guy like Helton nearly three full days off the field. He should be very fresh for Friday in New York. Yes, it once again puts Hammel with a lesser offensive lineup and defensive lineup, but he's seen far worse of both at times this season. We'll call this a 'B' lineup.

Cleveland Indians (39-33)
  1. CF Grady Sizemore
  2. 2B Cord Phelps
  3. SS Asdrubal Cabrera
  4. DH Travis Hafner
  5. RF Shin-Soo Choo
  6. C   Carlos Santanta
  7. 3B Orlando Cabrera
  8. LF Travis Buck
  9. 1B Jack Hanrahan
SP Josh Tomlin
