Rockies signed RHP Roy Oswalt to a minor league contract. In fantasy terms, it's obviously not a good landing spot for Oswalt. It certainly makes sense from the Rockies' perspective, though, as they need all the help they can get in the rotation. Oswalt will report to extended spring training first before being assigned to a minor league affiliate. The veteran right-hander has been staying in shape near his home in Mississippi, so it shouldn't take him too long to build up the necessary stamina. The Rockies haven't guaranteed him anything, but as long as Oswalt doesn't look totally lost, he should be added to the big club's rotation before long. He posted a 5.80 ERA in 17 appearances last season with the Rangers but had a nice 59/11 K/BB ratio over 59 frames.
