The Dodgers are looking to replace the many departures from last year's bench by signing infielder Nick Green to a minor league contract. He'll earn $500,000 plus $100,000 in incentives if he makes the big club.
With Juan Castro and Mark Loretta gone, the Dodgers lost some good depth that filled in some big innings. Jamey Carroll has already been added, so maybe Green can back up Rafael Furcal at short since Carroll plays pretty much everywhere else but there.
Green appeared in 103 games with the Red Sox last season. He hit .236 with six homers and 35 RBIs. Not exactly huge numbers. Not that I follow the Red Sox closely, but I do know they had problems at short all year, and Green was one of the few that had a chance to make an impact and never really did.
Keep in mind he's not on the major league roster, so he'll have to work his way up during the spring.
