Dem Bums – A Dodgers Blog

Mike MacDougal was one of the bigger surprises for the Dodgers in 2011.  He came back from a rough 2010 season and threw 57 innings with 41 strikeouts and a 2.05 ERA.  He had a nice season in 2008 in his final year with the White Sox but 2009 and 2010 were rough campaigns.

It’s only for $1 million so there’s not a lot of risk and if he has another nice season, there’s a 2013 option.  The Dodgers have quite a few bullpen options but this signing gives the Dodgers some extra depth at a low cost.
