The Los Angeles Dodgers sign reliever Shane Lindsay

Found December 14, 2011 on Dodgers Locker:
PLAYERS: Shane Lindsay
TEAMS: Chicago White Sox,  Los Angeles Dodgers

The Dodgers have signed 26-year old righty reliever Shane Lindsay to a minor league deal. Lindsay pitched in 4 games (0 starts) for the White Sox last year and he was 0-0 with a 12.00 ERA and a 2.67 WHIP. He also pitched in 50 games (0 starts) in AA+AAA-ball last year and he was 3-3 with 4 saves, a 2.18 ERA and a 1.29 WHIP. Lindsay only gave up 32 hits while whiffing 90 batters in his 70 1/3 innings last year, as he has dominating stuff…..but he also walked 59 batters and that’s way too many. Lindsay will have a shot at winning a bullpen job for the Dodgers next spring.
