Rockies agree to contracts with Greene, Wright, Norton

DENVER -- Catcher Todd Greene and right-hander Jamey Wright agreed Tuesday to one-year contracts with the Colorado Rockies and utilityman Greg Norton agreed to a minor league deal.

Greene, 33, was a backup for the Rockies last season, batting .282 with 10 homers and 35 RBI. Wright, a 1993 first-round draft choice, was 2-3 with a 4.12 ERA in 14 starts.

Norton played in 41 games for Detroit in 2004 after three seasons in Colorado.

Greene is guaranteed $750,000 under his deal, which calls for a $650,000 salary next season and gives the Rockies an $800,000 option for 2006 with a $100,000 buyout. The option price can escalate to $825,000 depending on his playing time next year.

Wright gets a $550,000 salary and can earn another $250,000 in performance bonuses.
