Juan Uribe is trying to reinvent himself after two awful seasons with the Dodgers.

He has hit .199 with .262 on-base and .289 slugging percentages in two seasons with Los Angeles. The team still owes him $8 million.

"Given the Dodgers are expected to start the season with the biggest payroll in baseball history and the way their new ownership has spent, it’s been heavily speculated the Dodgers would be willing to wash their hands of Uribe this season and eat the rest of his contract if he cannot demonstrate an ability to help them win now," writes Steve Dilbeck of the L.A. Times.

Uribe was signed to a three-year, $21 million deal prior to the 2011 season.
