Serious red flags surround Slowey entering this season. He's coming off a serious wrist injury, and Slowey has admitted its effects still linger. Combine this with a slim margin for error, and it's hard to get excited about Slowey as some fantasy owners were entering 2009. Unless he falls far enough to balance out his negatives, it's probably best to let someone else take the risk. 8-0-4.60-1.28-100 in 160 IP

Positives / Upside	When healthy, Slowey has shown he is capable of being a premier WHIP producer, but he's not just a finesse guy - he has a career 6.9 K/9 rate and a sterling 4.90 K/BB. Last season, Slowey battled injury and inconsistency, but enters 2010 healthy and primed to pick up where he left off.
Negatives / Downside	Indications are that Slowey's recovery may be somewhat complicated. He still has screws in his wrist, which he has noted will take some getting used to. If Slowey doesn't have the superb command he's had in the past, he could be in a lot of trouble since he can't make up for subpar location by overpowering opposing batters.
Recommendation	Only at a discount
Draft Position	226
