According to Tracy Ringolsby of FOXSports.com, the Rockies have considered signing right-hander Todd Wellemeyer.
The starting rotation appears set in Colorado, so this would strictly be for depth in the event of injury, or if Jeff Francis suffers a setback in his return from shoulder surgery. Wellemeyer, 31, struggled with elbow injuries of his own last season, compiling a 5.89 ERA and 1.77 WHIP in 122 1/3 innings with the Cardinals.

I actually think Welly is worth a flier. I think the big increase in workload in 2008 showed itself in 2009. If he's healthy, he can be effective as a swingman.

The Rockies couldn't match Washington's offer to Marquis? Either that or they're very confident that Francis will make a strong comeback.

No way Wellemeyer does more than a little mop-up duty. On the road.

The baseball world probably thought the same thing when the Cards picked him up. Just sayin'.

A fly ball pitcher with a below average K rate in Coors. But, yeah, it's possible that Wellemeyer could surprise.

I completely agree

Todd Wellemeyer said Thursday that the Mets, Rockies and Giants have shown interest and that he expects to sign in the next three days.
It's doubtful he lands a contract worth over $1 million or a guaranteed spot in any starting rotation. The 31-year-old compiled a 5.89 ERA and 1.77 WHIP in 122 1/3 innings with the Cardinals last season while struggling with elbow issues. He told a St. Louis radio station Friday that he's in great shape, but that doesn't change the fact that he is a less-than-inspiring pitcher.
