Jason Giambi has agreed to a one-year, $1.75 million contract with the Rockies, one major league source confirmed to FOXSports.com.

Giambi was a valuable contributor for the Rockies down the stretch last year, batting .292 in 19 games as a pinch hitter and occasional first baseman. Then he went 1-for-3 in Colorado’s first-round playoff series against Philadelphia.

With Todd Helton at first base, Giambi isn’t likely to see many starts outside of interleague play. But he should get plenty of chances to impact games as a pinch hitter.

Including his time with Oakland last year, Giambi batted .201 with 13 home runs and 51 RBIs in 102 games.
