The Colorado Rockies officially announced finalization of 26 one-year player contracts for the 2012 Major League Baseball season. The financial terms of the contract were not disclosed (per club policy), there are plenty of interesting names on the list that could be contributors in the upcoming season.
Former Chicago Cubs outfielder and prospect Tyler Colvin was traded to the team in a swap for third baseman Ian Stewart, and the Rockies also acquired pitching prospect Tyler Chatwood from the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim in a deal for catcher Chris Iannetta. Spring training provide some surprises and upstart players every year, so it's not unreasonable to think that several of the players listed below could become important contributors for the Rockies in the 2012 campaign. Here are the 26 players signed that were signed to one-year deals:
