MacDougal's MacBack!

The Dodgers announce that they signed right-hander Mike MacDougal to one-year deal that includes a club option for 2013. The contract is worth $1MM, according to MLB.com's Ken Gurnick. Hendricks Sports represents the 34-year-old right-hander.

MacDougal spent the 2011 season with the Dodgers and posted a 2.05 ERA with 6.5 K/9, 4.5 BB/9 and a 60.9% ground ball rate in 57 innings. He ranked tenth among MLB pitchers in ground ball rate last year (minimum 50 innings). The 11-year veteran has a career ERA of 3.94 with 7.4 K/9 and 4.8 BB/9.

A reasonable contract for a reliever and Colletti is the one to give it out? Wow!

Fuck, another year of Mike "Who cares if I allow inherited runners to score it doesn't hurt MY earned-run average" MacDougal.

I still think inherited runners should partially count towards a reliever's ERA.

[realmofotalk]

Or just replace our god damn GM with somebody who understands that a good ERA isn't everything for a reliever.

MacDougal allowed 17 of 51 inherited runners to score last year.

Not sure how that compares to the rest of the league, though.

Matt Guerrier was slightly worse, both raw total and percentage-wise (19 of 49). So, yeah, I should be more disgusted that Guerrier will be collecting $10.5 million to suck cock over the next two years than MacDougal doing the same for just one more year at $1 million.
