Jackson Williams returns to the Rockies as catching depth for 2016

The second new addition to the Colorado Rockies ahead of 2016, Jackson Williams has been in Denver once before.

Before the start of the Winter Meetings, the Colorado Rockies signed Jackson Williams to a minor league deal for some catching depth going into 2016. If you recognize the name (and the picture above), you should; Williams broke into the big leagues with the Rockies in 2014 after a long minor league career.

Now, after spending 2015 in the San Francisco Giants' organization, Williams is back with Colorado on a minor league deal that will no doubt include an invite to Major League Spring Training in February and then a spot most likely in Triple-A Albuquerque to start the year as catching depth for a Rockies' position group currently in flux.
