Getty Images Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register reports that the Dodgers have signed right-handed pitcher Matt Palmer to a minor league contract. The deal also carries an invitation to spring training, though Palmer is highly doubtful to carve himself a spot on Los Angeles’ Opening Day 25-man roster.
Palmer allowed two runs in two innings with the Padres last season. He spent the majority of the year at Triple-A Tuscon, where he had a 5.66 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 64/42 K/BB ratio in 98 2/3 frames.
Palmer was a 31st-round pick in the 2002 MLB Amateur Draft out of Missouri State University. He owns a 4.56 career ERA and a 1.48 career WHIP in 185 1/3 big-league innings (20 starts, 43 relief appearances).

So the real question here is how he fits into this team since he’ll be playing on the minimum salary…square peg round hole???

The Dodgers strike again. Man, they are ACTIVE all over the place. I guess their new ownership is pretty serious.

Why do they sign this guy ,and don’t give Brian Wilson a a minor league contact instead?We all know Ned Colletti’s penchant for signing Ex- Giants. I guess signing Juan Uribe was the last straw!
