Dem Bums – A Dodgers Blog

The Dodgers signed free agent secondbaseman Orlando Hudson to a one-year deal today. The deal will cost the Dodgesr $3.4 million, a possible $4.6 million in incentives, and their first round draft pick.

Hudson, a 2007 All-Star, is coming over from the Arizona Diamondbacks, where he batted .305 with 8 homeruns and 41 RBI in 2008. Hudson will be taking over second in place of the retired Jeff Kent, and while he batted in the three hole in Arizona, he will likely bat second beyond Rafael Furcal.
