Rox happy with additions, have more to do

But Bridich, who took over in October for Dan O'Dowd and Bill Geivett, saw no requirement to make headlines during a small, but high-profile, snippet of the offseason. Deals tend to happen with all the teams and all the game's media present, but Spring Training isn't until February and the season doesn't start until April.

Talks with the Mets about right-handed starter Dillon Gee weren't completed. The Marlins have attempted to pry defending National League batting champion Justin Morneau to be a left-handed-hitting threat at first base, but the notion exists that the Rockies want more than the Marlins are willing to offer. Still, the teams are communicating. The Rangers expressed interest in catcher Wilin Rosario, but appear to be putting more effort into acquiring a starting pitcher.

The Rockies, who are pushing for starting pitching themselves, were under no requirement to do something just because all the teams were together Sunday evening through Thursday morning.

Deals done: Diaz, 23, acquired from the Angels for backup infelder Josh Rutledge, has a fastball that averaged 97 mph during a five-game big league look last season and an intriguing slider.

"There are two 'plus' pitches there, the fastball and the slider that he can throw for strikes and throw for outs -- swings and misses," Bridich said. "He greatly improved his ability to be in the zone over the past season. He got a cup of coffee in September so he knows what the big leagues are like, at least in September. He repeats well. In his delivery there's effort but everything is on line."

Diaz also has all of his Minor League options, so over the next three seasons they can develop him if necessary.

House, the Athletics' 14th-round pick in 2012, spent much of the year at Class A Advanced before making four scoreless appearances in Triple-A at the end of the season.
