Rays' Danny Farquhar: Avoids arbitration with Rays

Farquhar and the Rays avoided arbitration Friday with a one-year, $900,00 deal, Roger Mooney of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Analysis:

Farquhar had a strong season in his first year with the Rays, registering a 3.06 ERA in 35.1 innings while striking out 46. He struggled with the long ball, but that could be a single season aberration.
