Dodgers sign Shea Hillenbrand -- to a minor-league deal

The Dodgers have signed veteran first baseman Shea Hillenbrand to a minor-league contract and assigned him to Triple-A Las Vegas. Hillenbrand was released twice already this season, once by the Angels and later by the Padres, for whom he never played in the majors and went 5 for 34 at Triple-A Portland.

Oh, I get it ... we're collecting 1st basemen!

Very, very, very disappointing, to the point of the absurd.

Talk about your disgruntled employee. This guy should be working for the post office.
