The Los Angeles Dodgers signed former All-Star LHP Eric Milton to a minor-league contract. Milton missed the last season-and-a-half while recovering from Tommy John surgery. He will compete for the fifth starter role during spring training. Milton has a 87-84 career record, and went 15-7 in 2001 with Minnesota which made him an All-Star that season. However, he could not enjoy the same kind of success after signing with Cincinnati, going 16-27 with the Reds over 3 seasons. Milton has also pitched for Philadelphia, and in 1999 pitched a no-hitter against the Anaheim Angels. Milton joins Claudio Vargas, Shawn Estes, and Jeff Weaver as starters past their prime who hope to have a rebirth, much like Chan Ho Park did last season.
