Mike Mac? Huh?

[Soxworldchamps]

Mike MacDougal?

[Sox It To Em]

Mike MacDougal. Took me a minute to figure it out as well.

[Meixner007]

Mike Mac? Huh?

MacDougal

[ChicagoHoosier]

I just got out of the car and was flipping btwn the Score and ESPN. Do you mean MacDougal for 3 years? Interesting. Maybe that's what the 10 mil we saved on Freddy was for.

[SoxxoS]

Every player needs to have a shortened nickname. EVERYONE.

If you can't figure it out, just take the First initial of the first name, and first 3 letters of the last name.

But since he is a "Mcdougal" Mac always works.

See "A-Row" "J-Gar" and "B-MAC"

For Christ's sake people, it's re-signs!!! Not resigns!! I thought for a second Mac just retired. Jesus!!

That made me nervous too!! PLEASE - that's a BIG difference!!!

I'm getting the impression my thread title wasn't the best of choices...

Yeah, I thought someone quit. Since I did not know who the thread maker was talking about, I thought it was the "Miller Beeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" guy. Then I read the first post and lo and behold, nobody resigned, but rather signed an extension.

Yea because we so often hear of baseball players resigning. *****!

I fixed it.

I second that. I thought he quit.

Arghh.

Re-signs, not resigns!

Haha, you've caused mass hysteria. Well played. :bandance:

Holy ****, that scared the hell out of me.

Wait a second, I thought the Sox don't re-sign anyone...:dunno:

Who's Mike MacDogal? :tongue:

[Lip Man 1]

Nice move to start.

Now go out and get another arm for the bullpen (and I don't mean Boone Logan)

McCarthy. If you type B mac (without the space), it will filter it out with "Fingernails on a blackboard".

Bmac. (this is "B mac" without the space)

[CaptainBallz]

Ok, now that that's all out of the way...

Glad to have you back, MAC!!:bandance:

[sox230]

I am going to post about (gulp) the actual contract! Besides Lip, not one other person has actually posted a reaction to the actual signing. I really like it. Aside from the one hanging breaking ball to Bartlett that lost us a game, he was lights out. Good to lock him up. And I doubt this uses up any of the money we saved from Freddy.

[CPditka]

Dont know what the terms are, but I like having him back. A closer-esque player in our pen is always good. IMO as good as Shields/Wheeler.

..and our latest acquistions...um, er.. GGon and, um, GFlo? :duck:

Bingo.

I was pleased with MacDougal last season, and I'm glad he's on board.

Our bullpen:
Jenks
Thornton
MacDougal
Aardsma
???????
???????

Fill in those question marks, KW.

Just wanted to see if that worked. Now that that's out of the way, I think this is a good move. MacDougal was pretty solid last year.

[IlliniSox4Life]

MacDougal is a good re-signing. He's got some excellent stuff.

[joebro25]

rotoworld:

Mike MacDougal's new three-year deal with the White Sox is worth $6.45 million.
Very reasonable. The White Sox weren't going to assume the risk here unless they had the potential to save quite a bit in arbitration. MacDougal will earn $1.5 million in 2007, $1.95 million in 2008 and $2.65 million in 2009. The club holds a $3.75 million option with a $350,000 buyout for 2010, the first year he's eligible for free agency.

Pretty good signing by the Sox.

[HomeFish]

You can never have too many arms in the bullpen. I hope this is the first of many new relief pitchers that we will sign or otherwise acquire.

[SABRSox]

Nice move to start.

We already did. His name is Gavin Floyd.

[JB98]

We already did. His name is Gavin Floyd.

Even if Floyd surprises me and throws the ball well, we still have one more spot out there. I hope it will be filled by someone other than Boone Logan, who can't seem to find the plate in pressure situations.

This is a good contract for the Sox and pretty typical of KW's recent signings; multi-year deal with club option or buyout for the year after.

No. I refuse to do that.

Thank you.

Goodnight.

I just looked at his stats for last year. I had no idea, This guy is good!:redface:

This is good news.

Hopefully he stays healthy, because we need him.

[pearso66]

I think with the contracts that are being handed out to mediocre bullpen arms, the Sox got a steal with that contract. Good re-signing by KW.

[soxfanatlanta]

IMO, this was KW's best move of the winter. Good stuff, good price. An all around good value.

No big deal. While reading this thread I discovered I had taste for a polish, but realized I had to polish the silver for Christmas, so decided it would be best if I did some studying instead. With all my relatives coming over it would be best if I took the time to brush up on my polish!!

Fixed it for you Przyjaciel.

[MHOUSE]

I like MacDougal a lot, especially as an 8th inning guy instead of a closer. Hopefully Coop and Ozzie can keep him in rhythm with some days off so he's healthy all year. He's got great stuff and he seems to be a real team player. With guys like Baez and Jamie Walker getting big three-year deals, this is a steal.

Nah, we're past that trend and have gone back to initials: Dye = "JD," Anderson = "BA," etc.

Wait, does that mean MacDougle = MM, M&M, eminem, doublem (http://www.whitesoxinteractive.com/vbulletin/member.php?u=50)?

That would mean Brandon McCarthy would be BM, a nickname I doubt he'd care for.

[ajismyhero]

LOL.

Although, "T Ig" has quite the ring to it.

[Britt Burns]

Really good deal for the Sox...MacDougal, Thornton, and Jenks should see us through the 8th and 9th innings of a lot of games for years down the road, and all at a good salary. The pen had a bad year in '06, but all the arms are there to make it a huge plus in the near future.

[Navarro's Talent]

Great signing. When Kenny first acquired him, I was pretty excited. Now that he's locked up for a bit, I'm even more happy. We just need one more arm in the bullpen now, which I think will be Charlie Haegar. With his knuckleball and impressive performances late last season, I think Ozzie is going to have an eye on him come spring. I'd rather have Kenny get someone outside the organization, but I'm not so sure that will happen.
