Dodgers signed INF Josh Fields to a minor league contract. Fields left the Rockies' organization last summer in order to join the Yomiuri Giants of Japan's Central League, but he batted just .202 with two homers and 34 RBI over 109 at-bats. Now he's going to give it another try stateside. The 29-year-old hasn't done much at the major-league level since smacking 23 homers with the White Sox in 2007, so he'll likely open the 2012 season at the Triple-A level.
