Roster Moves

As noted in the message board last night, RHP Randy Newsom was promoted to Triple-A Columbus today, and he takes the place of INF Andy Cannizaro who was transferred to Mahoning Valley. Also RHP Paolo Espino was transferred back to Low-A Lake County, and RHP Steven Wright was moved off the Mahoning Valley list. Espino had been added to the Akron roster for bullpen help and Wright was sent to Mahoning Valley as a paper move. No word yet on who is replacing Newsom on the Akron roster.

Edit: Another move was announced today in Lake County as LHP Russell Young was promoted to Kinston and RHP Eddie Burns was called up to Lake County from extended spring training.
