News: Dotel Signs with White Sox, Again
The White Sox have signed RHP Octavio Dotel to a two-year, $11 
million contract, according to a major-league source, reports Ken Rosenthal at FoxSports.com.
…i still don’t know how to feel about this…i’ll admit, i liked the idea of dotel potentially pitching for the Mets again, even if it was on a two-year deal…that said, it all depends on how the overall off-season plays out…i mean, no matter how i slice it up in my mind, dotel is far from a guarantee, and i can understand why he may not be worth gambling on for two full seasons…what’s more, i am always concerned about guys who have bounced from team to team, as he as…my hunch is that, avoiding him on that deal, is probably the wise move…but, time will tell…
The White Sox will be Dotel’s fifth team in five years, and the seventh team he has played with during his nine-year career.
Since 2002, pitching exclusively from the bullpen, against roughly 1,400 batters, opponents are batting .200 against Dotel, who has struck out roughly 30 percent of the hitters he has faced.
Last week, citing ‘a relative of the player,’ Impacto Deportivo reported that Dotel had reached agreement the same contract, but the report was immediately refuted by his agent.
