Dotel and the Chicago White Sox agreed Tuesday to an $11 million, two-year contract, bolstering a bullpen that ranked among the majors’ worst last season.

“If you can assess that he’s going to be healthy and return back to his normal production level, then the money is secondary at that point and we focus on getting the team to be the best we can possibly be,” Williams said. (Source)

Sure, I advocated the Yankees giving Dotel another shot. But, that’s because I had this crazy idea that nobody was going to give a with 56 IP over the last three years a lucrative deal.

Boy, I sorely underestimated the stupidity of White Sox GM Kenny Williams. Williams already handed out a $19M deal to Scott Linebrink! He has committed $30M to relievers who aren’t closers in this off-season alone! Gold, Jerry! GOLD!!!

Waste of money.
