September 23, 2008 Indians pitcher Brian Slocum will have surgery this week to remove tissue that has been causing pain in his right (throwing) elbow, according to MLB.com.
Our View:Slocum had no value whatsoever in fantasy leagues.
July 12, 2008 Brian Slocum has been optioned to Triple-A Buffalo, according to the AP. The team called up Matt Ginter for tonight's start against Tampa Bay, and Slocum was viewed as expendable to free up a roster spot.
Our View:Slocum held no fantasy value for this season, as he was rocked for six earned runs over two brief innings of work.
July 4, 2008 Brian Slocum has been recalled from Triple-A, according to The Sports Network. Like Jensen Lewis, he is taking over one of the roster spots vacated when Joe Borowski and Rick Bauer were designated for assignment.
Our View:Slocum was with the Indians in 2006, but was not very good and holds no value in fantasy baseball.
June 8, 2008 The Indians optioned Brian Slocum to Triple-A Buffalo Sunday. The move was made to make room on the roster for Jeremy Sowers, who will start today.
Our View:Slocum was starting for Buffalo before but is expected to work out of the pen this time around.
June 4, 2008 Reliever Brian Slocum was promoted from Triple-A Buffalo today to bolster a depleted Indians bullpen, this according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer. The promotion is a result of the Jake Westbrook injury.
Our View:Slocum was on the 40-man roster and had just been moved to the pen from the rotation. He will serve in long-relief.
