White Sox roster move

The Orioles weren't the only team fiddling with their roster today. The White Sox designated right-handed reliever Mike MacDougal for assignment and recalled right-hander Jack Egbert from Triple-A Charlotte.

Obviously, the Orioles aren't the only team with some bullpen depth issues, since Egbert had a 6.43 ERA (five earned runs in seven innings) in five minor league appearances. MacDougal, who broke through in 2003 with 27 saves for the Kansas City Royals, but has struggled with injuries and ineffectiveness since the White Sox acquired him in a midseason deal in 2006.

Slightly interesting side note: MacDougal was drafted twice by the Orioles (1996 and 1998), but did not sign with them either time.

About Peter Schmuck
Peter Schmuck wants you to know that, contrary to popular belief, he is more than just a bon vivant, raconteur and collector of blousy flowered shirts. He is a semi-respected journalist who has covered virtually every sport -- except luge, of course – and tackled issues that transcend the mere games people play. If that isn’t enough to qualify him to provide witty, wide-ranging commentary on the sports world ... and the rest of the world, for that matter ... he is an avid reader of history, biography and the classics, as well as a charming blowhard who pops off on both sports and politics on WBAL Radio. That means you can expect a little of everything in The Schmuck Stops Here, but the major focus will be keeping you up to the minute on Baltimore’s major sports teams and themes, whether it’s throwing up the Orioles lineup the minute it’s announced or updating you on the latest sprained ankle in Owings Mills. Oh, and by the way, that’s Mr. Schmuck to you.
