Fantasy Analysis

Balfour hasn't been as dominant this year as he was last year, but strangely enough, the Rays have given him more of a chance to close now than they ever did then. He probably ranks behind LHP J.P. Howell among closer options entering next year, so expect him to go undrafted in mixed leagues.
