the Dodgers, getting extensive playing time after the trade of Manny Ramirez. He finished hitting .280 with five home runs and 17 RBI. On November 4, 2010, Gibbons signed a one-year deal to remain with the Dodgers. He began to experience some vision problems while playing winter ball in Venezuela and saw some eye specialists when the problem persisted through spring training, causing him to lose his chance to be the team's regular left fielder. The problems continued into April and he began the season on the disabled list while trying out different contact lenses. He was even concerned that his career might be over. After an extended rehab assignment at AAA Albuquerque that lasted for most of April, he was activated on May 3. He appeared in 24 games, hitting .255 before he was designated for assignment on June 6. He returned to the Isotopes, where he played in 76 games the rest of the season, hitting .300 with nine home runs and 46 RBI. He became a free agent after the season.
