Giants are taking a risk exposing Surkamp like this, maybe they wrangle some spare balls and bats for him in trade, but......It seems like the Giants rushed him back a bit from Tommy John surgery, but who knows? He's worth the risk from the left side as a starter, but at the bottom half of the rotation at best.
Giants DFA Surkamp, officially add Morse and Vogelsong to 40-man roster | Giants Extra:
The 40-man roster is back at 40. The Giants added Michael Morse and Ryan Vogelsong to the 40-man roster yesterday, and left-hander Eric Surkamp was designated for assignment. Surkamp, 26, spent most of the past two seasons recovering from Tommy John surgery. He was roughed up in one big league appearance last season, but pitched well in the minors. Surkamp had a 2.93 ERA in five starts for the San Jose Giants and a 2.78 ERA in 11 starts for Triple-A Fresno.
Given Surkamp’s recent injury history and the fact that most big league rosters are just about full this time of year, the odds would seem to be pretty good that Surkamp will be back with the organization. If not, the Giants are counting on Yusmeiro Petit and Edwin Escobar to be the next guys up if they need rotation help.
