cmh6476 759 Posted July 13, 2006 Mike MacDougal is now back. Not sure if he'll take over the closers role immediately, but I don't see why he wouldn't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cmh6476 759 Posted July 15, 2006 burgos came in last night in middle relief, so it would appear that if a save opportunity arises for the royals, mac would get the call Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BuckeyeMiniMe 0 Posted July 15, 2006 I would only pick him up if you have a roster space to spare and you are really desperate for saves! Of course, there may be a team out there trying to make a run for the playoffs that needs a closer...if it can happen to Guardado, it can happen to McDougal.

I picked him up in GHB1, just tryin to corner the market on closers. My lower starters arent anything to brag about, might as well take a chance. He's pitched well in the past. Streaky, but who knows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's pitched well in the past. Streaky, but who knows. I know the feeling! I just dumped Todd Coffey and I've been hanging on to Mark Prior all year waiting for something good to happen. I have decent closers but I've picked up Scott Olsen and Cole Hamels just hoping for anything! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DBZFan2K 0 Posted July 15, 2006 It's the Royals, so he probably won't get many save opportunities Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TommyGavin 790 Posted July 15, 2006 Coffey isnt going to close anymore ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DBZFan2K 0 Posted July 15, 2006 Coffey isnt going to close anymore ? He lost his job to Guardado. Messicans taking er jebs!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BuckeyeMiniMe 0 Posted July 16, 2006 Newly acquired Gary Majewski for the Reds comes in and gives up 2ER on 3 hits in 1/3 of an inning. Arroyo's 7IP, 0 runs all for nothing!!! ...but.....come back with a bases loaded, 2 out infield single to win 3-2!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DBZFan2K 0 Posted July 16, 2006 Majewski trade = Sauersuck/Suppan for Freddy Sanchez/Mike Gonzalez trade of 3 years ago Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cmh6476 759 Posted July 17, 2006 Jul 16 Kansas City Royals CL Mike MacDougal pitched a 1-2-3 ninth inning Sunday, July 16, to earn his first save of the season. Former closer Ambiorix Burgos recorded the final three outs in the eighth inning to earn a hold. MacDougal has pitched two shutout innings since returning from the disabled list.

DanXIII 8 Posted July 17, 2006 I'm certain that the 10 saves he'll produce down the stretch will put me over the top. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
