Garland signed with the Dodgers

Former Padres right-hander Jon Garland signed a one-year contract with the Dodgers with a base salary of $5 million on Friday. Garland will be the Dodgers' fifth starter, giving them five pitchers who each won 10 or more games last season.

Garland will also be eligible to earn up to $3 million in performance-based incentives this season. The contract includes an $8 million club option for 2012, which would vest if he pitches more than 190 innings in 2011.

Garland pitched well last year for the Padres, setting career-best marks with a 3.47 ERA and 136 strikeouts in 33 starts. We sure will miss you Jon, won't wish you luck though, because we'll end up having to play you.
