Another pitcher I expect Rockies to express interest in is Brandon Webb. He's on comeback trail. Love to see him in a camp and healthy

Lowe and Garcia started games at the major league level last season, but both veterans were also used out of the bullpen. Webb hasn’t pitched in the bigs since the 2009 season, as he’s been hampered with arm injuries that have sidelined him.

Lowe appeared in 38 games last season, 21 starts for the Cleveland Indians and 17 relief appearances for the New York Yankees. Combined he maintained an ERA of 5.11, but as a starter his ERA was 5.52.

Garcia made 30 appearances for the Yankees in 2012, including 17 starts. The right-hander posted an ERA of 5.20.
