DENVER -- The Rockies know they can count on second baseman DJ LeMahieu, no matter what they ask.
Going into Thursday's games, LeMahieu ranked sixth in the National League with a .322 batting average. But he is the most versatile of the top hitters when it comes to where he falls in the order. Manager Walt Weiss has started LeMahieu in the No. 2 slot 52 times and the eight-hole 22, but has started 28 games in other spots.
LeMahieu has been on the move since the Rockies dealt Troy Tulowitzki to the Blue Jays on July 28 and adjusted their lineup.
