According to Tom Singer of MLB.com, the Colorado Rockies have reached a tentative agreement, pending a physical, with 2nd baseman Marcus Giles.
He's expected to be in Denver sometime next week to complete his physical.
I'm not sure of this move for the Rockies. I think they would have been much better off filling the position internally and they had the candidates to do so. Giles struggled mightily, with the Padres, after the first month of the season. After which, he was benched in favor of recently departed Padre Geoff Blum.
Maybe Giles did succumb to the Petco Park curse it seems to put on hitters, but after hitting .262 in 2006 with the Braves and .229 with the Padres last season, I don't see anything to be excited about.
