Analysis:

Britton enjoyed another fantastic season as the Orioles closer in 2015 and will receive nearly $3.5 million more next season as compensation. He still has Darren O'Day lurking if the wheels fall off, but his peripherals paint a picture as strong as his actual performance. He struck out more than a batter per inning while forcing an elite 79.1-percent groundball rate.
