Brach should take on a more significant role in the bullpen in 2015, according to Britt Ghiroli of MLB.com.

Analysis:

Brach split his season between the Orioles and Triple-A in 2014, but he broke through with a 7-1 record, a 3.18 ERA and 1.17 WHIP while throwing his fastball over 93 mph. His numbers should translate well if he gets a full season with the big league team. Brach's role is as a crucial middle reliever who can enter tight games in the sixth or seventh inning. That role enabled him to rack up seven wins last season. However, the team likely places him as the fourth or fifth option for closing duties, and that is enough to ruin his fantasy value.
