McDougal, who turns 35 in March, posted a 2.05 ERA across 57 innings of work with a 6.5 K/9 and 4.6 BB/9 in his first season with the Dodgers last year. If there's one thing he can do, it's keep the ball on the ground as seen with a career 58.2% groundball rate. The former first-round pick has played with six different organizations, and four in the past three years.
