With the Rockies, he made his big league debut last season, posting a 7.56 ERA in 8.1 innings pitched over 4 games.
In 563.2 career minor league innings, the pitcher owns a 4.81 ERA over 171 games (70 starts).
Over the last five months, Goudeau has bounced around with five different organizations via waiver claims. With the Dodgers, he’ll need a spot on the 40-man roster, which is currently full. The club may opt to add Joe Kelly to the 60-day injured list, or could designate a player for assignment.

Why are they interested in a guy with such a bad record? Is there some change they think they can have him make to be better than anyone already on the 40 man? Wait, what? Joe Kelly? Oh yeah, since he’s never ready to pitch I guess you could replace him!
