| Niemann loses arbitration: The Rays won their arbitration case with SP Jeff Niemann on Friday, according to the Tampa Bay Times. Niemann will be paid $2.75 million this season, rather than the $3.2 million that he requested. He made just 23 starts for the Rays last season, missing time due to back issues, and he went 11-7 with a 4.06 ERA. (Updated 02/03/2012) |

| Fantasy Analysis |
| Niemann started off slowly last year, likely as the result of his back injury, but he finished strong. Increasing his strikeout and ground ball rates, Niemann posted a 9-3 record with a 3.41 ERA over his last 15 starts. As good as he was, he may be the odd man out in the Rays' crowded rotation situation. However, he is good enough to be a middle-of-the-rotation starter, and if he secures a starting role with the Rays or another team, he is worth drafting in the late rounds in standard mixed leagues. (Updated 02/03/2012). |
