Rockies signed 1B Josh Phelps to a minor league contract.
He'll also be invited to Spring Training. Phelps, who turns 32 in May, hasn't appeared in the big leagues since 2008 with the Cardinals. He's useful in that he carries an 859 career OPS against lefties, but unless he wants to pick up the catcher's gear again, he doesn't offer much versatility for a squad that figures to carry Todd Helton and Jason Giambi. |
