Jerry Crasnick, of ESPN.com, reports Colorado Rockies SP Jeff Francis (shoulder) has made some alterations to his mechanics this offseason to take some strain off of his arm over time. He is taking a more direct line toward home plate and throwing less across his body. "This is not a blow-away type guy," manager Jim Tracy said. "He's an artist who just really knows how to pitch. From that standpoint, he doesn't have to go through a complete re-adjustment period. If anything, he just needs to refine himself command-wise. But nothing has really changed."
