2009
Ayala bruised a nerve in his upper left forearm and had some numbness in his left hand after being hit by a shotgun pellet during a hunting trip last January. Those ailments did not seem to impact him during the season since he got off to good start in April, but he did not post an ERA below 5.65 in any of the remaining months of the season, mainly due to struggles with the location of his sinker. Ayala served as the Mets' closer after being acquired in mid-August from Washington while Billy Wagner was sidelined, but he'll be used in a set-up role with the Twins.
2008
After missing all of 2006 due to elbow trouble, Ayala finally made it back onto the mound last year, and aside from an uptick in his walk rate his numbers were similar to what he put up prior to getting hurt. The sinkerballer should regain his role as one of the Nationals' main set-up men and prime bullpen vulture, provided that an offseason hunting accident which resulted in a shotgun pellet being lodged in Ayala's non-throwing arm doesn't have any lingering effects on his health.
2007
His heavy workload in '03-'05 finally took its toll and he missed the 2006 season with an elbow injury, although an early start due to the World Baseball Classic didn't help either. Ayala was a very dependable set-up man prior to getting his UCL replaced, and might be worth stashing on your reserve list if he's healthy this spring.
2006
His workload started to catch up to him in 2005, but Ayala still put together another very good season for Washington. He seems to be one of the rare relievers with fairly reliable win totals, a testament to Frank Robinson's usage patterns. If his elbow holds up, and Robinson stays in charge, expect another eight or so W's on Ayala's ledger.
2005
Ayala's now had two very good seasons in a row in middle relief. While he doesn't have the dominant K rate you'd like, if Washington's infield defense holds up there's little reason to think Ayala can't make it three for three.
2004
Ayala was a Rule 5 steal for the Expos, and was their one reliable bullpen arm for all of 2003 -- although he did miss a month due to a shoulder injury. His 10 wins were a fluke of course, but if young Chad Cordero falters, Ayala might replace those wins with saves instead.
2003
