LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- A versatile right-handed-hitting player was on the Rockies' shopping list this winter, and Ty Wigginton fits the bill perfectly.

Colorado agreed early Tuesday on a two-year deal with Wigginton, according to a FoxSports.com report.

He'll back up Todd Helton at first and Ian Stewart at third and could see reserve time at the corner outfield spots. He also has played second base during his career with the Mets, Pirates, Rays, Astros and Orioles.
