PHOENIX -- Louis Coleman was a relatively unheralded signing by the Dodgers in February, but one who has made an impact during spring training and figures to be a part of the Dodgers bullpen on opening day in Sn Diego. Just two months ago, neither he nor the team thought this would happen.
Coleman was already signed for 2016, avoiding salary arbitration with the Royals with a one-year, $725,000 contract. He was with the team that drafted him in the fifth round in 2009 out of LSU, and the team for whom he pitched in parts of each of the last five major league seasons.
