Marco!
The Rockies have agreed in principle on a deal to acquire Boston infielder Marco Scutaro for pitcher Clayton Mortensen, according to a source with direct knowledge of the talks.
(snip)
Scutaro, 36, hit .299 with seven home runs, 54 RBIs and .358 on-base percentage last season. He projected as the Red Sox's starting shortstop, but Boston has been looking to move money to make a run at free agent starter Roy Oswalt, while staying under the luxury tax.

With Scutaro in the fold, the Rockies will enter spring training with one of their deepest lineups in franchise history. He will join outfielder Michael Cuddyer and catcher Ramon Hernandez as key acquisitions, completely reshaping the lineup around Carlos Gonzalez and all-star cleanup hitter Troy Tulowitzki.
