According to a Tweet by the Colorado Rockies, the team has signed infielder Joe Creded to a Minor League contract.  The deal also includes an invitation to the Major League Spring Training.

The 33-year-old missed all of the 2010 due to back surgery.   In 2009, he hit .224 with 15 home runs and drove in 48 RBIs in 90 games for the Minnesota Twins.
