I just came back from the Baysox media day. The Baysox roster is still a work in progress, but I can say the following based on what manager Brad Komminsk, pitching coach Kennie Streenstra, and a few of the players said.
Rotation:
Zach Britton (Starting Thursday – opening day)
Steve Johnson (Starting Friday)
Chorye Spoone (Starting Saturday – Komminsk said he looked really good during spring training.)
Ryohei Tanaka
Tim Bascom
The Baysox will use a closer by committee to begin the season. Wilfrido Perez will probably rest every other day as he recovers from bone chips in his left elbow, but he will be in the closer picture eventually.
The starting infield will probably be the following.
First base:
Rob Widlansky
Second base:
Ryan Adams
Third base:
Brandon Waring (Joel Guzman will see time)
Shortstop:
Pedro Florimon
The starting outfield will look something like this. Komminsk guessed that Matt Angle may be ready to play in June following his hamate bone injury.
Left field:
Tyler Henson
Center field:
Danny Figueroa
Right field:
A rotating cast that may include Joel Guzman, Paco Figueroa and Rob Widlansky
I had a feeling at least one Figueroa would be in Bowie but not both. I see both as mid season call ups at the least. Also does anyone know where Eric Crozier is playing this season? He was a nice addition to the team and I wish him well.
