Ron Belliard: Signed one year deal with Dodgers

Ron Belliard is a solid defensive second baseman with gap power. He won't provide an outstanding average but he can hit doubles. However, the Dodgers did not need to get another starting player. Blake DeWitt can handle the second base job and the role of the second baseman this year for the Dodgers is to play good defense. DeWitt can field better and will provide a slightly better average. Belliard will be a good backup this season.
