The Florida Marlins sign Mike MacDougal

The Marlins have signed 32-year old righty reliever Mike MacDougal to a minor league deal. MacDougal will make $700,000 bucks if he makes the Marlins’ pitching staff and he can earn an extra $75,000 bucks in incentives. MacDougal pitched in 52 games (0 starts) for the Nationals last season and he was 1-1 with 20 saves, a 3.60 ERA and a 1.52 WHIP. He has now pitched in 314 games (3 starts) in his major league career and he is 14-21 with 70 saves, a 4.09 ERA and a 1.52 WHIP. I like this move for the Marlins as MacDougal could help them out late in games if he starts throwing more strikes.

The Marlins have signed 33-year old righty swinging outfielder Jason Lane to a minor league deal. Lane played in 113 games in AAA-ball last season and he was 104 for 411 (.253 avg, .810 OPS) with 65 runs scored, 13 homers, 47 RBIs and 4 stolen bases. Lane last played in the majors in 2007 with the Padres and Astros. He has played in 497 games in his major league career and he is 291 for 1,208 (.241 avg, .771 OPS) with 165 runs scored, 61 homers, 189 RBIs and 10 stolen bases. Lane will get a chance to compete for a backup job in the outfield for the Marlins this spring.

The Marlins have signed 34-year old lefty swinging 1B/3B Mike Lamb to a minor league deal. Lamb played in 119 games in AAA-ball last season and he was 115 for 440 (.261 avg, .669 OPS) with 44 runs scored, 5 homers and 53 RBIs. Lamb last played in the majors in 2008 with the Twins and Brewers. He has played in 936 games in his major league career and he is 739 for 2,668 (.277 avg, .751 OPS) with 380 runs scored, 69 homers and 345 RBIs. Lamb will have a shot this spring to earn a job on the bench for the Marlins.

The Florida Marlins sign Seth McClung

The Marlins have signed 28-year old righty reliever Seth McClung to a minor league deal. McClung pitched in 41 games (2 starts) for the Brewers last season and he was 3-3 with a 4.94 ERA and a 1.63 WHIP. He has now pitched in 177 games (51 starts) in his major league career and he is 26-34 with 6 saves, a 5.46 ERA and a 1.58 WHIP. It’s doubtful that McClung will be anything more than a mop up man in the pen for the Marlins next season unless he starts throwing more strikes.

The Florida Marlins sign Jose Veras

The Marlins have signed 29-year old righty reliever Jose Veras to a minor league deal. He pitched in 47 games (0 starts) for the Indians & Yankees last season and he was 4-3 with a 5.19 ERA and a 1.39 WHIP. Veras has now pitched in 128 games (0 starts) in his major league career and he is 9-6 with 3 saves, a 4.42 ERA and a 1.38 WHIP. I like this signing for the Marlins as Veras should pitch better with the Marlins than he did in the American League.
