Arodys Vizcaino Avoids Arbitration
6 years agoAtlanta Braves relief pitcher Arodys Vizcaino avoided salary arbitration on Friday by agreeing to a one-year, $4.8 million deal, according to sources. Injuries limited Vizcaino to just 38 1/3 innings last season, but he was solid when on the field, posting a 2.11 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, career-high 16 saves and a 9.4 K/9. The right-hander will be in the mix for saves on a contending Braves squad once again, but he faces competition in A.J. Minter, Brad Brach and Dan Winkler. He'll have value as a low-end fantasy closer if he starts the year in the ninth-inning role, but his leash will be short if he falters.
