October 24, 2008 Bryan Bullington was claimed off of waivers from the Indians on Friday, according to the AP.

September 8, 2008 The Cleveland Indians recalled right-hander Bryan Bullington from Triple-A Buffalo on Monday, according to the AP.

July 10, 2008 Former first overall pick Bryan Bullington was claimed off of waivers by the Cleveland Indians, according to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. He will be sent to Triple-A Buffalo to work on his game.

July 3, 2008 Bryan Bullington was designated for assignment by the Pirates, in order to clear room on their 40-man roster for Chris Duffy, according to TSN.com.
Our View:The former first overall pick has not been very good this season, and he has a 5.29 ERA and 1.71 WHIP. The team has 10 days to decide what to do with him. He shouldn't be on fantasy rosters anywhere.
June 12, 2008 Bryan Bullington was demoted to Triple-A on Thursday after two weeks of inactivity, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Our View:It does no one any good to have a guy just sitting on the bench doing nothing, that's what bat boys are for. Bullington was 3-6 with a 5.68 ERA with Indianapolis earlier in the year, and though no official news was given on who would take his roster spot, but it is expected that reliever Marino Salas will be called up.
