Rockies signed 3B Joe Crede to a minor league contract.
The deal also carries an invitation to spring training, where Crede will attempt to prove his health and land a spot as a utility infielder on the Rockies' Opening Day roster. He sat out for all of the 2010 season due to back surgery and played in only 234 games from 2007-2009. But he is only 32 years old and posted really good power numbers when healthy.
What are the chances Crede gets through ST injury free? This is much ado about nothing.
