PEORIA, Ariz. -- Righty reliever Scott Oberg, switch-hitting infielder Cristhian Adames and right-handed hitting outfielder-first baseman Stephen Cardullo were rewarded for standout springs with spots on the Rockies' Opening Day roster, manager Bud Black announced Friday afternoon.
Oberg, who pinballed between Triple-A Albuquerque and the Majors the last two seasons, posted a 2.16 ERA in nine Spring Training games going into Friday night against the Mariners. His work allowed the Rockies to designate veteran righty Jason Motte for assignment Friday.
"I liked the mix of pitches -- the fastball-slider combination, the change to the lefty," Black said.
