The Baysox announced Chorye Spoone was promoted to Triple-A Norfolk today. Spoone was the Baysox opening day starter. He only pitched three innings in the opener and gave up three earned runs and five walks. In 2010, Spoone was 7-6 with a 4.02 ERA in 132.0 innings for the Baysox.
Bowie has not made a corresponding move, so only 23 of the team’s 24 rosters spots are full. Zach Clark will take Spoone’s place in the rotation tomorrow, April 13. There is no word on whether Clark with take Spoone’s spot permanently. Ryohei Tanaka is another candidate to replace Spoone in the rotation going forward.
Oh, and the Richmond radio announcers as saying that Joe Mahoney is day-to-day with a quad issue.
