Dodgers Sign Ramon Nivar
According to Diamond Leung, the Dodgers have signed infielder Ramon Nivar to a minor-league deal and assigned him to Double-A Chattanooga.
The 29-year-old Nivar hasn't appeared in the majors since 2005, last with the Orioles. Like quite a few former major-leaguers, Nivar was playing for the independent-league Newark Bears this season, where he posted a .331 average and .810 OPS in 127 at-bats.

If he has a .331 BA but only an .810 OPS, then he either has absolutely no power or absolutely no plate discipline.
I doubt Ramon Nivar makes his return to the majors anytime soon.

Organizational depth. He used to be very fast, though, and can play multiple positions (2B and all three OF spots, as well as 3B/SS in a pinch). If he's as fast as he used to be, he might be useful come September roster-expansion time.
