O's finalize contract with Gonzalez: Reliever Mike Gonzalez finalized a $12 million, two-year contract with the Orioles on Friday after passing a physical. Gonzalez went 5-4 with 10 saves and a 2.42 ERA with the Braves this year. He will receive $6 million in each of the next two seasons and could earn an additional $2 million in performance bonuses. The 31-year-old left-hander becomes the front-runner to take over as Baltimore's closer, although Jim R. Johnson and Koji Uehara remain in the mix. Gonzalez is 14-16 with 54 saves and a 2.57 ERA in 302 major league games over seven seasons. He set a career high with 24 saves for the Pittsburgh Pirates in 2006.

Fantasy Analysis
Gonzalez certainly has the stuff to close, striking out 90 batters in 74 1/3 innings last year. If he beats out Koji Uehara and Jim R. Johnson to close coming out of spring training, he is worth drafting as a low-end No. 2 Fantasy reliever. On a better team, he would rank even higher than that.
