Dodgers sign Abreu

The Dodgers have signed OF Bobby Abreu after he was released by the crosstown Angels.  He had batted .208 in 24 at-bats in Anaheim/Los Angeles (take your pick).  In his career, Abreu has batted .293 with 284 homers, 1,330 runs batted in, and 393 stolen bases, although he struck out in his first at-bat with his new team.

In other Dodgers news, the team has added RHP Ronald Belisario from the restricted list and added him to the active roster after more than a year as a restricted player following a positive drug test for cocaine.  He was unable to return to the U. S. in all of 2011 from his native Venezuela due to the positive test and was suspended for the first 25 games of this season in accordance with MLB's drug policy.
