Game 2013.19: Tigers at Royals
Well, we needed that off-day. I’m not speaking for the team; the fans certainly did though.
The news of the day is that Octavio Dotel has been placed on the 15-day disabled list with right elbow inflammation, the 2nd time he has suffered this ailment (the first just landed him on the day-to-day list). Whether the elbow inflammation caused his ineffectiveness or his ineffectiveness...

Tigers’ Octavio Dotel could require trip to DL
Detroit Tigers right-handed reliever Octavio Dotel continues
to deal with inflammation in his throwing elbow. It’s limited his availability
and impacted his effectiveness so far this season, and it could ultimately
require a stint on the disabled list, according to Jason Beck of MLB.com.

lingering, and that...
Octavio Dotel got "Valdespined" by a comebacker
In a bit of humorous news (humorous because there was no injury involved), Octavio Dotel got to feel the panic Jordany Valdespin felt when he saw a Justin Verlander fastball heading toward his…well…nether-region. Dotel was pitching for the Tigers yesterday when a ball was hit back up the middle. It clipped Dotel in the very same nether-region that Valdespin chose not protect...
Dotel becomes glue for Tigers
LAKELAND, Fla. -- Tigers late-inning reliever Octavio Dotel is one of those players who becomes glue for a ballclub.
He often takes the mound and patches together a game on the verge of breaking the other way, and is a clubhouse leader who brings professionalism and harmony.

Detroit Tigers preview and predictions: Octavio Dotel
New Tiger Octavio Dotel
Octavio Dotel takes the phrase “living out of a suitcase” literally. Playing for 13 teams in his career, that suitcase has probably been replaced two or three times because of the wear and tear. Dotel now finds himself in a Detroit Tigers uniform, looking to contribute to an already dominant back end of the bullpen.

Octavio Dotel - Have Arm Will Travel
Before the gas prices made it prohibitive, RVing was a major retirement goal for people in this country. Every neighborhood had at least one of the mobile fortresses parked in someone's yard. A popular method the merry travelers employed to tell the world where they had been was to put stickers on the back of the RV. These stickers could be states or they could be from major...
