The Revolution continued to remake an underachieving roster, releasing relief pitchers Steve Andrade and Josh Sharpless after York's 1-6 road trip ended in a rain-shortened loss to Southern Maryland.
Expected to be York's closer when the season opened, Andrade (pictured above) suffered from biceps tendinitis in May. He sat out 15 straight days before returning to the mound May 19. He made three straight hitless appearances before allowing a combined three runs during his last two appearances. He went 1-0 with a 6.75 ERA and one save in 10 games.
Sharpless (1-1, 7.85 ERA) never appeared comfortable on the mound during his 15-game stay in York. The former Pittsburgh Pirate reported to spring training later than most of his teammates for personal reasons and struggled to find the strike zone. Sharpless (pictured at right) walked 17 and struck out 17 in 18 1/3 innings.
