Nationals, Mike MacDougal Agree To Terms

By Tim Dierkes | March 24, 2010 at 3:56pm CDT

The Nationals agreed to terms with reliever Mike MacDougal on a minor league deal, tweets NatsTown News.  MacDougal had signed a minor league deal with the Marlins on February 18th, but was released yesterday.  MLB.com's Bill Ladson says MacDougal's deal with the Nationals contains an out clause if he's not in the Majors on a certain date.

Outside of his save percentage MacDougal posted shaky numbers in 2009 – a 4.31 ERA, 5.6 K/9, and 6.3 BB/9.  The Nationals chose to non-tender him after the season, but now he's back on a team-friendly arrangement.  MacDougal's positive traits: a mid-90s heater and a 62% groundball rate.

      “A mid-90s heater…” I think that’s your answer there. Though, this is a minor league deal.

        When your walk rate is higher than your strikeout rate, I don’t care how hard you throw, you shouldn’t have an MLB job. And yea, I realize it’s a MiLB job but it is pretty easy to assume he spends most, if not the whole year, with the Nats

          Oh, I’m not saying he should, but there’s still people in front offices who see mid 90s heater and think they should get him just because.

    Why? Why? I was happier that we had let him go. He is a walk machine.

    When he leaves the Nats I expect the Marlins to pick him up.

      You expect the Marlins to pick up a guy they released yesterday?

        No the whole idea is that the Nats got him, non tendered him, Marlins signed him, released him, back to the Nationals. So wouldn’t it make sense?
