OCTAVIO DOTEL RUMORS

Another Ground Ball Inducing Red Bird…

Octavio Dotel Signs With Detroit TIgers, His MLB Record 13th Team

Octavio Dotel signed a one-year deal with the Detroit Tigers this afternoon. That might not seem like big news, except that as soon as Dotel steps on the mound for the Tigers, they'll be the 13th team he's pitched for and that's a Major League record. Dotel's been efficient, too, as 2012 will be just his 14th year in the Majors. It's not just a novelty act,...

Tigers Signing RP Dotel is Worst Move of Winter Meetings

The Detroit Tigers and GM Dave Dombrowski have made their first signing of the baseball’s winter meetings, only problem is 38 year old RP Octavio Dotel wasn’t worth the wait.

Can the Cardinals break “The Curse of Octavio Dotel”?

Long before Saturday night’s grand slam by Philadelphia’s Raul Ibanez off St. Louis Cardinals reliever Octavio Dotel clinched the 2011 National League Eastern Division crown for the home Phillies, the poor late-season results by the teams employing the right-handed pitcher had been a point of discussion, and often consternation.
