The average Dodgers fan probably won’t know the name of Joe Beimel. The left-handed reliever made a 4 year stop in Los Angeles on his 13-year journey through the big leagues starting in 2006. His time here was mostly uneventful, aside from a sliced hand that kept him out of the 2006 Division Series and disappointed fans.
Now 44 years old, Beimel is looking to make a comeback to the big leagues. The former Dodgers reliever reportedly signed a minor league deal with the San Diego Padres this week.No officially word on what Beimel has looked like on the mound but it must have been enough to impress.
