Rodney, Rays come to terms: The Rays officially announced the signing of Fernando Rodney on Wednesday to a one-year deal with a club option for 2013. Rodney will get paid $1.75 million in 2012 and has a team option for $2.5-million or a $250,000 buyout in 2013.

Fantasy Analysis
Rodney has always struggled with command, but he was especially wild last season. Back woes may have contributed to his problems, but even if healthy, Rodney is still too risky to trust in most formats this year. He may pick up some holds, so he could be worth a shot in leagues that use middle men. (Updated 01/04/2012).
Fernando Rodney did not get off to the best of starts a year ago and ended up losing his job as closer for the Angels. He blew just his second save chance of the season and was eventually moved to a setup role for rookie Jordan Walden, who pitched in the ninth inning the remainder of the year. Rodney was limited to just 39 appearances due to a back injury and finished with a 4.50 ERA and three saves in seven opportunities. The right-hander signed with the Rays in the offseason and is expected to help set up for closer Kyle Farnsworth in Tampa Bay. Given his role and recent struggles, leave Rodney for the deepest of AL-only formats that use middle men on Draft Day. (Updated 2/9/12)
