What to Watch For:

-Garrett Atkins returns to the lineup today for the first time since March 10. 

-Troy Tulowitzki plays his third game in a row after being out last weekend with back problems.

-Brad Hawpe is still taking it easy with his left hammy, so we get to see Ian Stewart try his first hand at RF today.

-Except for Hawpe and Jimenez, this could be the Opening Day line-up.  It will be interesting to see how they stack up against an All-Star pitcher.
