Giants Designate Eric Surkamp For Assignment
The Giants have designated left-hander Eric Surkamp (http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/s/surkaer01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.typepad.com) for assignment, according to the team's transactions page (http://sanfrancisco.giants.mlb.com/team/transactions.jsp?c_id=sf#month=12&year=2013&team_id=137). The move was likely made to clear a roster spot for the recently signed Mike Morse (http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/m/morsemi01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.typepad.com).
The 26-year-old Surkamp made one start for the Giants in 2013, yielding an unsightly seven runs in 2 2/3 innings of work. His work in the mi**r league was excellent, however, as he pitched to a 2.80 ERA with 7.4 K/9 and 2.4 BB/9 in 86 1/3 innings. Surkamp split the season between Double-A and Triple-A as he recovered from 2012 Tommy John surgery, spending the bulk of his time in Triple-A Fres**.
In his mi**r league career, Surkamp has a 2.84 ERA with 10.0 K/9 and 2.5 BB/9 in 484 2/3 innings. The former sixth-round pick made his big league debut for the Giants in 2011 and ranked among Baseball America's Top 30 Giants prospects from 2010-13.
