Poll Time: Octavio Dotel

to get a one year $2 million dea plus an option. Then we can decline it to get a draft pick or two next year

And I’d rather see some combination of inexperienced bullpen arms + whoever doesn’t make it into the 5th rotation spot next year given a chance to show us what they have. I think it would be a lot less disastrous than were building it up to be. There’s already more than enough talent there to fill in the three bullpen spots left vacant.

for felony drunk driving. As part of the probation, he signed an agreement that stated he could be charged with murder if he killed anyone while driving drunk. Not going to defend Stallworth’s slap on the wrist, but the circumstances were different.

to the Gregg signing of last year. One year plus a club option sounds like a decent idea. Could be good.

I actually really like this idea. As it stands Toronto is sitting with a fairly inexperienced bullpen. The only two that can be really called vets are Frasor and Camp. While I’m not personally one to believe and assigned closer is necessary; it does give our RPs something to strive towards. I think we can all agree that Fraser does have the inside track on the CP role, but he fail in that (again) Dotel could provide the same insurance that Gregg did in 2010. That all said, I still would have preferred the Jays made a bigger play for Jesse Crain (who I believe was the best RP on the market this winter).

I am all for another one and done, get a pick next year type of closer as long as we have/will have a premium closer when we are a real contender.

Didn’t realize Dotel is that “old”

Whoever we can get on a one year deal. Wait until the teams desperate, (and most often foolish) enough have given out the multi-year contracts and we then sign one of the leftovers. Make a deal that the club will not offer arb if they become a Type A and player will refuse arb if they’re Type B.
