The Los Angeles Dodgers have reportedly filled the left side of their infield, signing free agent third baseman Bill Mueller.

The Los Angeles Times and Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported on their Web sites Wednesday that Mueller will get a two-year contract, which is conditional upon him passing a physical exam. The Pirates had also been pursuing Mueller.

Mueller hit .295 with 10 home runs and 62 RBI for the Boston Red Sox last season. He joins shortstop Rafael Furcal, who signed with the Dodgers last week.

They are expected to bat 1-2 in the lineup.

Over his 10-year career, Mueller has a .292 average and a .373 on-base percentage with 82 homers and 478 RBI. The 34-year-old switch hitter set career highs in 2003, batting .326 with 45 doubles, 19 homers and 85 RBI under Grady Little, who was hired last week by general manager Ned Colletti to manage the Dodgers.

Los Angeles used seven players at the "hot corner" this past season, with Oscar Robles leading the way with 40 games played.

The Dodgers have an All-Star shortstop in Cesar Izturis, but he underwent reconstructive surgery on his throwing elbow late last season and isn't expected to play until July.

Izturis could be shifted to second base when he returns, with All-Star second baseman Jeff Kent moving to first.

I hate to say it but the Dodgers have done well to get Furcal and Mueller. Pretty nice left side of the infield.

The Dodgers reportedly are on the verge of signing free-agent third baseman Bill Mueller, and also have extended offers to free-agent center fielder Kenny Lofton and outfielder Reggie Sanders, FOXSports.com has learned.

2 year / $9.5 million contract whatever...

Well, at least Kent-Furcal-Mueller is a much better infield than Cora-Izturis-and whoever else they had there before. They've got money to spend, good stuff.

Yea, it's nice to see them hitting it big in FA.
