Stanhouse Still Aims To Pitch After Dodgers Release
Don Stanhouse, once Baltimore’s late inning reliever, was released by the Dodgers after a 2.1 million dollar contract. The right hander, 30, says he is not done pitching, plans to throw near Loyola in LA and hopes another club signs him. Dodgers say his arm and 5.04 ERA last season forced the decision. Stanhouse notes his 38-53 career mark and learns whether a new team will bid.
