The Nationals have signed right-hander Mike MacDougal to a Minor League contract Wednesday with an invitation to big-league camp. He will arrive at Space Coast Stadium the next day. 國民隊重新簽回了去年他們的終結者 Mike MacDougal，簽的是小聯盟約，同時邀請他一起參加春訓。 Last season, MacDougal was Washington's closer, saving 20 games with a 3.60 ERA. He was arbitration eligible after the season, but was non-tendered in December because the team wasn't sure if he would recover from offseason hip surgery. 去年他的成績是3.60的防禦率，並且有20次救援成功，同時去年也拿到仲裁資格，但因為他的臀部傷勢復原情況不明，國民於是決定不與他續約。 MacDougal, 33, then signed with the Marlins and gave up five earned runs in 4 2/3 innings this spring before he was unconditionally released by the club Tuesday. MacDougal's agent, Rex Gary, and Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo started talking soon thereafter. MacDougal 於是和馬林魚簽下契約，但他在春訓的成績並不怎麼理想，投了4又2/3局就丟掉了5分自責分，因此在這個禮拜二 MacDougal 就被無條件釋出了。此時 Mike Rizzo 趁勢殺出，火速和 MacDougal 經紀人取得連絡。 "I'm feeling good," MacDougal said. "Hopefully, when I get there, I will get as many innings as possible before Spring Training is out. We'll then determine where I'm at." MacDougal表示他目前的情況十分良好。同時之後國民將會決定他未來的定位。 Does MacDougal have a chance to be on the Nationals' Opening Day roster? Manager Jim Riggleman isn't sure. "I know we'll get a look at him," Riggleman said. "With what he did for us last year, we certainly can't dismiss that. He'll certainly get the benefit of the doubt. I don't think health is an issue. He wouldn't have been pitching for the Marlins if he wasn't healthy." Riggleman 說他自己也不確定之後 MacDougal 是否會出現在開幕戰的名單上，他認為 MacDougal 在去年的表現的確是不容忽視。目前 MacDougal 的傷勢情況究竟如何還是未知數，但 Riggleman 相信他應該已經恢復健康了。 If MacDougal isn't put on the 25-man roster, he would report to the Minor Leagues, but he has an out clause in his contract. "We're not going to tell you what the date is, but it's not three weeks," Rizzo said. "It's beyond that, but he does have an out with an understanding that if it's not working, then he can exercise it." (以下這段感謝 KennyKuo 版友的幫忙:)) 如果 MacDougal 最後並未入選 25 人正式名單，那他應該就會被送回小聯盟去，不過麻煩的是在他的合約中附帶有逃脫條款。「我們並不打算公佈他的逃脫條款執行日期是哪一天，但不會是在三個禮拜以內。」 Rizzo說道。「之所以有這條逃脫條款是我們和 MacDougal 之間的協議。如果最後他無法擠入25人正式名單之內的話，那他就會執行這項權利。」 After MacDougal left Washington, the Nationals signed right-handers Matt Capps and Brian Bruney to be the closer and setup man, respectively. MacDougal said he still would like to continue to be a closer, but it's OK if he plays a different role on the team. "I obviously love closing, MacDougal said "But at this point, I like pitching better. I just want to pitch and all that will take care of itself. I want to help the team win." 國民在去年球季結束後已經分別簽下了 Matt Capps 和 Brian Bruney 作為球隊的終結者和佈局投手，不過 MacDougal 仍表示說他還是想繼續當個終結者。但比起這一點，他更喜歡做的事情還是投球，同時為了幫助球隊獲勝他也不排斥其他的安排。原文：http://0rz.tw/brVyO -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.135.43.84
