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. 国民队重新签回了去年他们的终结者 Mike MacDougal，签的是小联盟约，同时邀请他 一起参加春训。 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. 去年他的成绩是3.60的防御率，并且有20次救援成功，同时去年也拿到仲裁资格，但因为 他的臀部伤势复原情况不明，国民於是决定不与他续约。 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 於是和马林鱼签下契约，但他在春训的成绩并不怎麽理想，投了4又2/3局就 丢掉了5分自责分，因此在这个礼拜二 MacDougal 就被无条件释出了。此时 Mike Rizzo 趁势杀出，火速和 MacDougal 经纪人取得连络。 "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表示他目前的情况十分良好。同时之後国民将会决定他未来的定位。 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 说他自己也不确定之後 MacDougal 是否会出现在开幕战的名单上，他认为 MacDougal 在去年的表现的确是不容忽视。目前 MacDougal 的伤势情况究竟如何还是 未知数，但 Riggleman 相信他应该已经恢复健康了。 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." (以下这段感谢 KennyKuo 版友的帮忙:)) 如果 MacDougal 最後并未入选 25 人正式名单，那他应该就会被送回小联盟去，不过 麻烦的是在他的合约中附带有逃脱条款。 「我们并不打算公布他的逃脱条款执行日期是哪一天，但不会是在三个礼拜以内。」 Rizzo说道。 「之所以有这条逃脱条款是我们和 MacDougal 之间的协议。如果最後他无法挤入25人 正式名单之内的话，那他就会执行这项权利。」 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." 国民在去年球季结束後已经分别签下了 Matt Capps 和 Brian Bruney 作为球队的终结者 和布局投手，不过 MacDougal 仍表示说他还是想继续当个终结者。但比起这一点，他更 喜欢做的事情还是投球，同时为了帮助球队获胜他也不排斥其他的安排。 原文：http://0rz.tw/brVyO --
