Fantasy Analysis
Spence was unable to duplicate his success from last season during his limited appearances and posted a 4.35 ERA and 1.74 WHIP. The left-hander has been working on improving his strikeout-to-walk ratio and did not surrender a walk over his last three games. Fantasy owners should keep him on waivers in all formats while he's in the minors. (Updated 05/13/2012).
