Howard agreed to terms on a minor league deal with the Rockies on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran slugger has been a free agent since being released by the Braves in May. Howard slashed a mere .184/.238/.263 in 11 minor league games in the Braves organization prior to his release and he hit just .196 in 112 games with the Phillies last season. He won't be on the 40-man roster to start, but if Howard starts getting back on track, there's a possibility of him joining the Rockies as a left-handed power bat off the bench in September.
