转载自丹佛邮报 http://www.denverpost.com/rockies/ci_4953113 The Rockies, attempting to improve their bench, offered a minor-league contract to outfielder Karim Garcia on Thursday while intensifying their pursuit of catcher Javy Lopez. Garcia would compete for a bench role as the team attempts to find a viable left-handed-hitting reserve, a glaring weakness last season. The club already has agreed in principle on a minor-league deal with Alexis Gomez. That general manager Dan O'Dowd continues to spend a lot of time on this issue makes it clear the Rockies want Cory Sullivan, in line for a big raise through arbitration, to earn a roster spot in spring training. Sullivan, Gomez or even Garcia could complement the right-handed hitting Willy Taveras, the favorite to start in center field. Garcia, who played in Japan the past two seasons and performed well in winter ball was a teammate of Rockies adviser Vinny Castilla on Mexico's World Baseball Classic team in March. The Rockies also are determined to add a third catcher for spring training with their sights on Lopez. "Nothing is finalized, but we continue to make progress," agent Chuck Berry said. Catchers Sal Fasano and Sandy Alomar Jr. also are possibilities. -- ●● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ●●●● ● ●● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ●● ● ● ● ● Take Me Out To The Ballgame!! --
