Newsbreakers
December 23, 2009
The Phillies have expressed interest in Mike MacDougal, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Our View:
Philadelphia has also been looking at Fernando Rodney. They seem sure to sign a viable setup man who will also serve as a backup plan at closer should Brad Lidge struggle again this season.
October 13, 2009
Mike MacDougal underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right hip Tuesday, according to the Associated Press.
Our View:
The Nats' closer is expected to begin a throwing program in around two months. He is expected to be recovered in time for spring training.
May 29, 2009
Slam Sports reports that the Nationals have recalled right-hander Mike MacDougal from Triple-A.
Our View:
Don't count on MacDougal holding much fantasy value unless the Nationals bullpen somehow winds up in worse shape than it is in now. Should that happen he may get a chance to close.
May 28, 2009
The Nationals have purchased Mike MacDougal's contract from the minors, according to TSN.
Our View:
MacDougal has been erratic, and is not expected to pitch well enough to get a chance to close games. He allowed six earned runs and seven walks over 4.1 innings of relief with the White Sox this season.
May 27, 2009
According to MLB.com, the Nationals plan to purchase the contract of reliever Mike MacDougal on Friday.
Our View:
The former Royals closer will get a shot in the Nats' bullpen, because, frankly, they have nothing to lose. Their pen has been atrocious this season and, while it's far from a certainty that MacDougal will help, he can't really make things worth at this point. If he starts strong out of the gate he could get a chance to close and is worth monitoring in fantasy leagues.
May 3, 2009
MLB.com is reporting that the Nationals have signed Mike MacDougal to a minor league contract. MacDougal was released by the White Sox last week.
Our View:
MacDougal has always been a guy with all the tools but has been unable to put it together and throw strikes. The Nats can afford to take a chance on him since their bullpen is horrendous, but his value will be nonexistent unless he somehow figures out how to throw strikes.
April 29, 2009
The White Sox have requested waivers on Mike MacDougal with the intent of released the reliever, the Chicago Tribune reports.
Our View:
The White Sox have spent nearly three years trying to get MacDougal to throw strikes, and they clearly hit their limit. The 32-year-old right-hander still throws very hard, so some curious team will likely come calling. That means you, Nationals.
April 21, 2009
MLBTradeRumors.com is reporting that the White Sox have designated Mike MacDougal for assignment. MacDougal had five appearances for the Sox in 2009, compiling a 12.46 ERA in 4.1 innings of work.
Our View:
MacDougal has electric stuff, but he just hasn't been able to put it together. He is an intriguing player, with a fastball in the mid to upper 90's, but he holds no fantasy value after this move.
