The Nationals manager Manny Acta has announced their 5th closer of the season. The Nationals started with Hanrahan, then went to Julian Taveraz. When that blew up they went to Kip Wells and then we he failed wen't back to Joel Hanrahan.

Now the job will go to former Kansas City closer Mike MacDougal. MacDougal had 48 saves for the Royals over two seasons as their closer, but never was consistent, however he did strikeout one batter per inning.

He is a free agent closer to pick up, but don't expect much from him. If my numbers are correct the Washington Nationals have only had two save chances over the past two weeks. The Nats just don't win and are in fact the worse team in the majors. Just don't expect much from MacDougal in the area of saves. So far in four appearances for the Nationals he's thrown 2.2 shutout innings with three strikeouts.
