What can be expected of him this season? Should he be on my radar in fantasy leagues?

Maybe in a deep league. He was probably the Orioles best pitcher during spring training. The O's sent him down to try and gain an extra year of service time. Once Matusz landed on the DL, they were kind of out of options.
Scouts seem to think he is the best prospect of all the young pitchers that the Orioles have. Supposed to be a real good ground ball pitcher, which is clutch when half your games are at Camden Yards. I'm hoping for 10-12 wins and an era between 4.0 - 4.5 this year.
He was picked up in my 12 team league this morning.

Yeah, April 21 is the day they were waiting for. There's an argument going on at the Orioles board I go to about whether Britton will be sent down for 20 days later in the season in order to still get that extra year of service. I don't think he will unless he struggles real bad (which I'm not expecting).

Wouldn't roster him in anything but a deep or only league, I would happily stream him if someone else won't roster him but I'm not starting him against anyone in the AL East. He's a good fit for Baltimore's hitter friendly park with his groundball tenedencies, but there will be growing pains. Likely a quality buy in 2012 or 2013

Bullpen Banter has a pretty good breakdown of his start vs. Tampa

I think during the FOX broadcast earlier today that the Rangers were possible the greatest team ever.

Britton plays in the toughest division in baseball and doesn't get to throw against pitchers. I'd take Narveson without question.'rascal said:

Shields by quite a bit... he was very unlucky statistically in 2010.

Shields has problems pitching in tough spots
Masterson has trouble with lefties
Holland has problems with the gopher ball
Britton has a problem with his division
Narveson has a problem with talent, although he does a good job working with what little he has
I'd treat them all like someone you picked up off the corner, they're all hot right now so play the matchups. There will be more just like them throughout the year in leagues that they're currently on waivers. If you're in a deeper league, one in which guys like them won't be available later in the year, I'd go with Holland or Shields, depending on how much risk I'm willing to accept. You can probably start Shields all year, just can't expect much. If Holland figures out his gopher problems, tough problem to correct especially in his home park, he could be huge...or if he doesn't he's unownable again.

Another strong outing today.

His SO/9 numbers are just about where you'd expect them to be based on his minor league record. Britton isn't going to be a big K threat unless he changes his approach or adds a pitch.The big thing for me is that he's been consistent so far. That's huge for a young pitcher and something the other Orioles starters haven't been able to put together. We'll see if that holds when the weather warms up and the league has had a chance to see more of him.

Britton, Duffy - a few of these moves are all star break related.
