Veteran minor league RHP Brock Huntzinger another piece in Rockies' depth puzzle

The Colorado Rockies acquired Triple-A bullpen depth Christmas week.

On December 20, the Colorado Rockies signed right-handed reliever Brock Huntzinger to a minor league contract for 2016, adding depth to their bullpen at Triple-A Albuquerque. While Huntzinger, 27, has yet to appear in the Major Leagues over his nine-year professional career, he does have a long track record of fairly solid success in the high minor leagues.

For that, it's not too much of a stretch — especially knowing the Rockies' general pitching woes and bullpen depth issues — to imagine him spending some time in Denver in 2016.
