Fantasy Analysis
Balester has a career 5.17 ERA in 62 appearances (22 starts) in the majors but still has some decent upside at age 25. The Tigers usually get the most out of their relievers so keep an eye on his progress throughout the spring. But considering he will not be in line for many save chances in Detroit, plan on ignoring Balester in all Fantasy formats on Draft Day. (Updated 12/09/2011).
