The Los Angeles Dodgers sign Steven Jackson

The Los Angeles Dodgers have signed 28-year old righty reliever Steven Jackson to a minor league deal. Jackson pitched in 11 games (0 starts) for the Pirates last season and he was 0-1 with a 8.74 ERA and a 2.03 WHIP. He has now pitched in 51 games (0 starts) in his first two years in the majors and he is 2-4 with a 4.31 ERA and a 1.53 WHIP. Jackson will likely start the 2011 season in the minors, but he will be one of the first guys the Dodgers call up if they need help in the bullpen.
