The Yakult Swallows have signed Barrett to a one-year contract, Japanball.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Barrett, a minor-league vet in the Twins' system, went 4-5 with two saves and a 3.21 ERA in 50 games for Triple-A Rochester in 2008. He'll add bullpen depth to Yakult, but is not expected to pitch in a closer role.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2007
2006
Barrett's season ended in late July due to an injury to his pitching elbow. Before that, he showed progress and struck out over a batter per inning. He could have a future as a lefty reliever in the big leagues. He'll need to show he's healthy next spring, but could get called up if injuries strike in the Twins' bullpen.
Barrett struggled after his promotion to Triple-A and in the Arizona Fall League (9.00 ERA with a 9/13 K/BB ratio) and was exposed to the Rule 5 draft. He's a lefty that can throw in the mid-90s, but control has always been a problem (56 walks in 82 2/3 innings combined last season). He'll need a sharp turnaround to figure into Minnesota's plans
