My Take
Mike MacDougal is an unassuming player who rewards a second look. From Las Vegas through Wake Forest to the majors, he bounced across five organisations, the Royals, White Sox, Nationals, Cardinals and Dodgers, as a relief pitcher. Relievers live a stomach-churning life, invisible until one bad pitch puts everything on their shoulders, yet teams kept wanting him, which tells me the results were there. A switch hitter who throws right-handed, he had a useful versatility too. He was never the headline act, but I have a real fondness for these durable, journeyman craftsmen who quietly keep the game running.
