Per Rotoworld...

The White Sox have agreed to terms with Octavio Dotel on a two-year contract worth $11 million, according to Impacto Deportivo.

Dotel will have done quite well if he gets a guaranteed two-year deal for that much money despite not throwing more than 30 2/3 innings in a season since 2004. He showed that injuries haven't sapped him of dominant stuff in limited action last season and would potentially give the White Sox an elite late-inning setup man in front of closer Bobby Jenks.

Its alot of money but Yanks shouldve taken a chance IMO. Their bullpen is terrible.

 

[RedRaiders]

Good lord - 5.5 million per for that?

If it's two years guaranteed, Kenny Williams is nuts

So who's closing for Atlanta? Soriano?

That would be the front runner... Mike Gonzalez will probably get the next change if/when he is healthy and if Soriano falters...

Agent Dan Horwits said Octavio Dotel has not agreed to terms with White Sox.

A report out of the Dominican Republic indicated that the two sides had reached terms on a two-year, $11 million deal. "Are they one of the teams we are talking to? Yes," Horwits said. "All the rest of the stuff is inaccurate." Horwits said the White Sox are one of six teams in the mix for Dotel. The Orioles are likely another.

For fantasy reasons I need this guy in Baltimore or Pittsburgh.

This guy hasn't pitched in years, correct?

Define "pitched" He did throw some for KC last year but got hurt shortly after joining the Braves in the Kyle Davies deal.

For fantasy reasons, you need that guy to have a functional right arm.

I saw Buddy Bell have Dotel throw a 41 pitch, two inning save during spring training once. I thought the beer and sun had gotten to me...I mean, come on, a guy coming off that injury wouldn't be left in for a two inning save, would he? Checked the box score the next day and that's exactly what happened.
