Rockies and INF Jonathan Herrera avoided arbitration Wednesday by agreeing to a one-year, $900,000 contract.
The two sides settled at the midpoint of arbitration figures that were exchanged last week. Herrera was arbitration-eligible for the first time this winter after batting .262/.317/.351 with three home runs, 12 RBI and a .688 OPS in 251 plate appearances in 2012. He figures to serve as a utility infielder for the Rockies in 2013.
