Rasner has agreed to a one-year, $1.5 million contract to remain with Rakuten for 2012, NPBTracker.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Rasner had a strong season in Japan with a 2.04 ERA, 17 saves and a 46:16 K:BB ratio in 53 innings. At age 31 next season, there's still some time for him to come back to MLB and have an impact.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2003
Rasner's season was derailed by a fractured finger on his pitching hand and the Yankees did not tender him a contract to return for 2008. He'll take a minor-league or NRI to spring training and compete to add organizational depth, but his upside appears to be as a swingman.
After being sent packing by the Nationals last February, Rasner was claimed by the Yankees and spent most of the season in Triple-A. He was serviceable in limited opportunites for New York, but he'll have to pitch well this spring to make the Opening-Day roster and avoid starting the season at Triple-A or looking for work elsewhere.
Rasner got a brief taste of the majors in 2005 and didn't look out of place, but unless he has a great spring he figures to begin the season at Triple-A. If he can add a couple mph to his fastball out of the bullpen, so much the better.
Rasner's 2004 was good enough to get him a spot on the Nationals' 40-man roster. He's still a couple of years from helping the big club though, most likely in the bullpen.
