Major League sources told MLB.com on Wednesday that right-hander Tim Redding has agreed to a Minor League contract with the Rockies and will have the chance to make the team as a starter or long reliever. Redding nearly signed with the Rockies last winter but joined the Mets instead. He was slowed early while recovering from a foot injury, and finished the year 3-6 with a 5.10 ERA in 30 games, including 17 starts. Redding was at his best in August and September, going 2-2 with a 3.39 ERA in 16 games.
The club is expecting left-hander Jeff Francis to make a full recovery from the shoulder injury that cost him the 2009 season. But manager Jim Tracy acknowledged that sometimes a pitcher coming back from such an injury needs extra rest time.
