What a good start of the week it has been for Braves fans (who agree). After completing a trade for Mark Teixeira and Ron Mahay, the Braves further improved by obtaining Dotel from the Royals for Kyle Davies. Dotel might not be as dominate as he used to be, but putting him on a winning team, good atmosphere, and in the NL might be very beneficial.
Either way, Dotel gives us further depth and reliable experience in the bullpen. Davies has continued to struggled, and maybe he can rebound in KC.
ATLANTA -- The Braves and Royals have completed a trade that brings right-handed reliever Octavio Dotel to Atlanta in exchange for right-handed starter Kyle Davies.
This deal was announced Tuesday afternoon, after the Braves officially completed their trade that brings Mark Teixeira and left-handed reliever Ron Mahay from Texas to Atlanta.
In 24 appearances with the Royals this year, Dotel has converted 11 of 14 save opportunities, posted a 3.91 ERA and seen opponents compile a .264 batting average. The 33-year-old right-hander, who had Tommy John elbow ligament replacement surgery in 2005, missed the first six weeks of the 2007 season with an oblique strain.
Davies, once considered a can't-miss prospect, has battled inconsistencies since tearing his right groin last year. The 23-year-old right-hander was 4-8 with a 5.76 ERA in 17 starts with the Braves this year. After not retiring any of the five Reds he faced in his July 16 start, he was optioned to Triple-A Richmond.

Wanna fight for the playoffs? Take a page out of Atlanta's book. They know a thing or two about it, and after not making it in last year (for the first time in quite a while), they are not slacking off at all. Key trades of the year have landed in Atlanta, and now they're making another run. This is a team that wants to win and knows how. Good for them!
