Roster reaches 40-man limit with outfielder's signing DENVER -- The Rockies have completed the long-expected addition of outfielder Alexis Gomez -- a part-time player who became a postseason wonder with the Tigers last year -- to their Major League roster. They're at the 40-man limit. The Rockies reached an agreement with Gomez, 28, earlier in the offseason but waited until he concluded play in the Caribbean Series before completing the contract, which calls for a partially guaranteed rate of $575,000 for Major League service. Gomez went 4-for-9 with a home run and four RBIs for the Tigers as they defeated the Athletics in the 2006 American League Championship Series. With the Rockies, Gomez, a .259 hitter over 62 Major League games with the Royals (2002-04) and Tigers (2005-06), will compete for backup duty. The Rockies also signed a pair of infield vets to Minor League contracts -- Frank Menechino, who has batted .240 in 450 Major League games with the Athletics (1999-2004) and Blue Jays (2004-06), and Russ Johnson, a .288 hitter in 961 games with the Astros (1997-2000), Devil Rays (2000-02) and Yankees (2005). The pair will not receive invitations to Major League Spring Training. Neither player appeared in the Majors last season. Menechino appeared in just 18 games with Louisville and Columbus in Triple-A, and Johnson hit .275 with 14 homers and 40 RBIs for Columbus. -- ●● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ●●●● ● ●● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ●● ● ● ● ● Take Me Out To The Ballgame!! --
