Balfour comes to terms with Rays: Right-handed reliever Grant Balfour agreed Sunday to a $2.05 million, one-year contract with the Rays, avoiding arbitration. Balfour went 5-4 with a 4.81 ERA in 73 appearances last season.

Fantasy Analysis

Balfour was dominant in 2008, striking out well more than a batter per inning with a 1.55 ERA, but he took a step back with increased exposure last year. He still has potential, but he has little chance of closing with the Rays' acquisition of Rafael Soriano. Leave him for AL-only leagues.
