Usually injured, and when he’s not injured, he can’t throw strikes. He’ll probably end up spending most of the season in the minors or on the DL as he did the last two years. And the Sox will have the pleasure of paying him $2.65M for this.

But its “ALL-STAR Mike MacDougal” to you.

I’m sure we all remember MacDougal’s fireball velocity back in his early days with the Royals:

2002 96.3 mph (avg. FB velocity)
2003 95.8

Injuries and aging have clearly taken their toll on Mac:

2007 93.2
2008 93.9
2009 92.8

He’s just dwindling away before our eyes. At least he’s made some money. I hope he saved it.
