MacDougal struggled in 19 games at the Cubs' Triple-A affiliate in Iowa after being cut loose by the Dodgers, posting a 7.85 ERA and 11/16 K/BB ratio over 18 1/3 innings. He should be able to find another job.

Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports that the Dodgers are close to re-signing reliever Mike MacDougal.

As expected. MacDougal, 34, posted a 2.05 ERA and 41/29 K/BB ratio over 57 innings with the club in 2011. The Dodgers inked him on a minor league deal last offseason, but he'll likely get a guaranteed major-league deal this time.

MacDougal has been quietly effective out of the Dodgers bullpen to this point, though he's been able to get around seven walks over 12 1/3 innings. We fully expect him to go south eventually, but it's possible he could get some save chances on days where Vicente Padilla is unavailable.

We'll give it a couple more weeks before we start to seriously consider the former All-Star a likely candidate to make the Opening Day roster.

Mike MacDougal said he is healthier than he was a year ago.

Dodgers manager Don Mattingly was impressed with MacDougal's performance on Thursday: three outs on five pitches -- all strikes. Such efficiency has eluded the 33-year-old in recent years, and he will need to manufacture more of it during his uphill battle to for a roster spot.

He'll get an invite to spring training. The former All-Star closer was woeful for the Cardinals after being called up in late July, posting a 7.23 ERA and 1.87 WHIP while walking 12 over 18 2/3 innings. MacDougal can still hit the mid-90s with regularity, but he rarely knows where the ball is going and is a longshot to win a roster spot.
