J.C. Romero Elects Free Agency

By Ben Nicholson-Smith | July 10, 2012 at 3:41pm CDT

Left-hander J.C. Romero opted out of his deal with the Orioles and elected free agency, Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com reports. The Orioles signed the 14-year MLB veteran a month ago and assigned him to their Triple-A affiliate.

The Cardinals signed Romero to a one-year deal worth $750K plus incentives back in December only to release him six weeks into the season. After signing on with the Orioles the 35-year-old MDR Sports Management client posted a 2.51 ERA with 8.2 K/9 and 3.1 BB/9 in 14 1/3 innings (17 appearances) at Norfolk. He has a 4.15 ERA with 7.2 K/9 and 5.1 BB/9 in 657 1/3 career innings.

    Another day, another “oh well might have used him” for the Orioles farm.

    Blue Jays should pick him up and deal Cordero and Escobar for a starter. All Escobar does is ground out…..

      The kind of starter you could expect to get for a 35-year-old lefty specialist and a shortstop with a .640 OPS is probably already available as a minor league free agent.

       One bad year since coming to Toronto, and you want to kick him to the curve?

    As a Cardinal fan, he was a great batting practice pitcher…..

    He was brought in as insurance for the bullpen and fortunately, the O’s did not need to cash in on that policy.  The bullpen has been incredible with the exception of the middle guys like Eveland and Hunter who only come in when the starter gets knocked out after four.

      His “Philly magic” can still be bought over the counter at GNC for $39.99, and they test for it now.

    I can see the Dodgers being in on him. They’re known to be looking for a left-handed reliever to back up Scott Elbert, and don’t really have anyone to promote from the minors.

    Won’t be surprised if the White Sox jump on him. Eight of nine pitchers in the bullpen are rookies.
