Rockies player development director Marc Gustafson announced that the Rockies signed Payton, who didn't play in the Majors in 2009, to a Minor League contract with an invitation to Major League Spring Training. Gustafson also said the Rockies completed working on a Minor League deal with catcher Paul Lo Duca, a former All-Star who also didn't play in 2009.
Payton hit .309 with 33 home runs in the rockies jersey before signing with the Padres as a free agent. He last played for the Orioles in 2008, when he hit .243 with seven homers and 41 RBIs. Lo Duca played for manager Jim Tracy with the Dodgers. A .286 hitter in 11 seasons, Lo Duca hit .243 for the Nationals and Marlins in 2008.
