@Spockmaster I'm betting the logic is that he can split the 7th with Coke, giving Tigers two experienced guys to get them to Benoit/Valverde

You have resources. What's the scoop on Daniel Murphy.

lol he just tweets back at me sometimes when i tweet at him. my only sources are my twitter feed and mlbtr.

KalineCountry[/color]]Dotel is one of the few free agent Middle relievers who had an acceptable shutdown/meltdown ratio last year: 2.5 (15/6). Anything over 2 is pretty good.

2008 = 24/13 1.85
2009 = 17/10 1.70
2010 = 21/11 1.91
2011 = 15/6 2.50

I am more inclined to think 2011 was a fluke. The trend suggest a regress in 2012.

well as of now, the Tigers have made an aggressive offer to Dotel.
aggressive might mean more than he made last year, or a 2 year deal?

That can't be a good thing

He was awesome with Houston.

Tigers reportedly close to deal with reliever Octavio Dotel.
from the detnews

 

[Mitchrapp]

Not that I'm overly concerned but is there price point for Dotel?

 

[spockmaster]

his salary last year was $2.75 million, but i dont like the sound of "aggressive offer" so i wouldnt doubt if its $4-5 million/year or more.

Dotel made 2.75 or 3M for 2011. So it is for 3.25/3.5M or a bit more or the 2 years at double?

 

[spockmaster]

per danny knobler: "Can confirm that Octavio Dotel close to deciding between Tigers and one other team"


lets go mystery team! sign dotel!

 

[Mitchrapp]

Lol.

 

[biggunsbob]

I have a soft spot for Dotel. His 145 k season in 2001 was one of the reason i won the fantasy baseball league that year and around a grand... Check out these players from the past....LOL

[spockmaster]

looks like its us or the cards. i hope it ends up being the cards.

 

[stonecold2136]

Sbee was always big on Dotel. I am fine with signing him. Perry is probably get shipped out of town

 

[jimrice]

Why is everyone against Dotel? Probably an improvement over Perry and likely not too expensive or long term.

 

[kingofdetroit57]

It's us and the Cards with us in the lead. He's "enamored" with the Cards though. Leyland called him personally to express our interest.

i feel like we're going to overpay for him, especially because at this point he should only face right-handed hitters. id rather upgrade the various holes in our lineup/on the field than overpay for a righty specialist.

#tigers getting closer to deal with dotel. Cards hanging in but probably proccupied by another free agent

 

[spockmaster]

another free agent likely being pujols.
