Dodgers Sign 2 To Minor League Contracts

RP Justin Miller and OF Prentice Redman.

Their claims to fame: Miller, 32, is tatted up, pretty much head to toe, and has to cover them up with long sleeves when on the mound, so as not to distract the batter ("The Justin Miller Rule"); Redman, 30, is the brother of former major leaguer Tike Redman.



Eh, they're just minor-league contracts, but I hope they don't end up on the 25-man roster and playing in meaningful games, i.e. any game. We have plenty, plenty of bullpen options, and Xavier Paul or Jamie Hoffmann can fill the 5th outfielder role, and hopefully the 4th, which of course depends upon whether we can find some G.M. dumber than Colletti to take Juan Pierre away for good.
