Rookie Jayson Nix has the inside shot at the Rockies' second-base job.
But for insurance, the Rockies will bring major league veteran Marcus Giles to spring training, the Rocky Mountain News has learned.
Giles agreed to terms of a nonguaranteed deal, but it won't be finalized until he passes a physical, which he will undergo in Denver next week.
The Rockies decline to comment on contracts until after a player has passed a physical.
