Analysis:

Britton's career nearly came off the rails at Triple-A Pawtucket this season, recording a 5.86 ERA and 1.979 WHIP in 58.1 innings. His success in a short sample size this year will likely put him in the mix as a left-handed option out of the bullpen. With Andrew Miller traded and Craig Breslow unlikely to return, there's a 2015 opening for Britton.
