Someone will give him a shot to start to start somewhere. Do the Royals have an opening?
I’d sign him to start in Pawtucket, as a depth move.
Dear Twins:
Yes please.
Romero is actually a really good utility outfielder. He can play all three positions, and he’s a good slap hitter with speed. Plus, from what I remember over the last few years he’s pretty clutch.
I was surprised the Dbacks let him go.
Now its there time to get him back.
