Baseball Primer Newsblog— The Best News Links from the Baseball Newsstand
Saturday, December 10, 2011
According to BobbyMac, these are the most lopsided projected left/right splits (in terms of True Average, formerly EqA) for active players, minimum 500 IP:
Name Split Size
Octavio Dotel R, vs. R +.112 TAv
Ramon Ortiz R, vs. R .110
Dontrelle Willis L, vs. L .105
Horacio Ramirez L, vs. L .105
Chien-Ming Wang R, vs. R .092
Detroit and Octavio Dotel made their deal official, with the Tigers paying the veteran right-hander $3 million in 2012 and $3.5 million or a $500,000 buyout for 2013.
This will be his 13th team in 14 seasons… Dotel has the highest strikeout rate of all time among right-handers with 800-plus innings and even at age 37 got more than 10 strikeouts per nine innings for the fifth straight season…
Jason Beck of MLB.com reports that Dotel chose the Tigers over the Brewers, with the Padres also in the mix.

1. Enrico Pallazzo Posted: December 10, 2011 at 04:59 PM (#4012460)I have literally no idea what team Dotel pitched for last year.
Huh, Tor and StL. How did I miss him in the playoffs? I had a vague awareness he pitched for Tor at one point.
I would have guessed CHW, which was 5 teams ago, but only 2 years.
This guy is itching to redefine journeyman RP. 11 teams in the last 8 years, with 5 mid-season trades.
I'd rather have Dotel at my choice of 1/3.5 or 2/6.5 than some 2nd round pick
Well I'll be damned. I'm not sure there's a unit of time large enough to capture how long it would have taken me to come up with his name. My guess, Kerry Wood, is #2 though. Somewhat surprisingly, Hoffman is #6. And the #8 spot is held down by the immortal Mark Clear!
Wood holds the record for 900 to 1300 innings minimum; then Pedro holds it from 1400 to 2800 IP; then Ryan from 2900 to 5300.
Guess who holds the K/9 record for 5400+ IP.
1/Planck time?
Gotta be Denton True Young, no?
Plus he wore distinctive socks.
Was also part of that much discussed Rasmus trade. Really this was probably Dotel's most prominent season in a long time.
He was the pregnant looking pitcher.
He was the pregnant looking pitcher.
Ohhhh, I must have confused him with Valverde.
Nope, he's third.
Nope, he's third.
Big Train?
EDIT: play index'ed it. Not Big Train. The answer makes obvious sense, in retrospect.
If it's not Walter Johnson or Cy, it has to be Phil Niekro, right?
Damn ... 5386. That's a silly statistic.
Also, I was shocked that Dotel was still in the league. My favorite derisive Backlasher nickname still: "Blotel"
EDIT: play index'ed it. Not Big Train. The answer makes obvious sense, in retrospect.
Clemens?
Winner. Beats Big Train 5.57 to 5.34
