Hatcher is a former 5th round pick of the Florida Marlins in the 2006 MLB Draft. He spent a few years with the Marlins before joining the Dodgers last season.
For the Dodgers he posted a 3-5 record with a 3.69 ERA. He appeared in 49 games and threw 39 innings. Hatcher pitched well in the second half of the season and will be a big part of bullpen.
Los Angeles has made their share of moves so far this offseason and it looks like brining Hatcher back was on their priority list.
