Here is a trio of free agents that would be good fits for the Colorado Rockies

Found November 21, 2011 on Rockies Locker:
PLAYERS: Mark Ellis,  Chris Snyder,  Chris Iannetta,  Bartolo Colon
TEAMS: Colorado Rockies,  Los Angeles Dodgers,  Pittsburgh Pirates,  New York Yankees

I think if the Rockies signed the trio of players I suggest they sign, that they would be a lot better team in 2012. Here they are: 1. Kelly Johnson - Lefty hitting 2B Kelly Johnson would love playing half of his games at Coors Field. After losing out on Mark Ellis (he signed with the Dodgers), the Rockies need a new starting 2B and Johnson would be a nice upgrade for them. 2. Chris Snyder - Righty swinging catcher Chris Snyder could back up Chris Iannetta and possibly push him for P.T. 3. Bartolo Colon - Righty starting pitcher Bartolo Colon proved last year that he’s all the way back from rotator cuff problems. He would fit in very nicely at the back end of the Rockies’ starting rotation.

Impact: Phillies Acquire Wigginton

Via Fantasy Baseball 365  |  November 22, 2011
Brendan's take: In a move sure to go under the radar to most fantasy players, the Phillies acquired Ty Wigginton from the Rockies. He'll prove valuable in not only NL leagues but also in deeper mixed daily ones. His multi-position eligibility is a perfect fit for the Phillies, who have an aging Utley and Polanco at second and third respectively, an injured Ryan Howard, and...

2011 Pirates Redux – Catcher Edition

Via This Is Getting Old  |  November 23, 2011
Alright so this one should be pretty easy as the Buccos have really addressed this position. The Pirates lost Ryan Doumit and it looks pretty unlikely that Chris Snyder will be back.  Those two were supposed to be the catching tandem last season. Doumit had a good season, when he played.  The oft-injured backstop (somewhat) [...]
