Dotel to the ChiSox

by Adam J. Morris on Jan 21, 2008 4:49 PM CST in News Comment 7 comments

The ChiSox have signed Octavio Dotel to a 2 year, $11 million deal...

Dotel now joins Scott Linebrink, who got a 4 year deal, and presumably will set up Bobby Jenks for the ChiSox in 2008...

seems like they could have traded for one,

Maybe when they traded Garland they could have gotten a pen arm back.

ChiSox

spending lots of money on a bullpen is never wise. At least this deal is 2 years instead of the ridiculous 4 they gave Linebrink.

hurlerhurley has to drink a 6 pack just to have one for each of his usernames.

If we could have talked Dotel into a 1 yr deal

I would have rather had him than Guardado.

But releif pitching is a precious commodity these days - when you're LaTroy Hawkins or Dotel, and you still get a nice fat multi-year deal, you know there is just nobody else on the market.

When healthy, he is one of the best set-up guys in the MLB

I'm not denying Dotel is good

As I said, I'd rather have him than Guardado.

But he hasn't appeared in more than 30 games since '04 - 2 years and 11 million is a lot for a guy who's had three consecutive injury riddled seasons.
