[Angrioter]

Why are we still talking about Romero Ang?

 

He's a warrior and I still like him a lot as a person. He suck as a player.

There must be something wrong physically. They should perform TJS for no reason... Just to see what happens.

[flafson]

Damn, in 2.2 innings he had 74 pitches and 25 strikes.

They should completely change his delivery - something along the Loup design - drop him down side arm. It may very well help with his control. He will like lose ticks on the fastball but the movement could increase on the 2 seam and it may take pressure off his knee (which is apparently his big health issue). It may make him a lefty specialist reliever but you know that is not all bad - plenty of starters have been forced to the pen and had good careers - Dan Plesac and Dennis Eckersly and even our own Brett Cecil.

 

Romero's over the top isn't working - the 12-6 curve is tough to control. At this point there really is not harm in trying something completely different. If he doesn't he will never see Major League Baseball again.

[John_Havok]

As much as his career is likely over there no,point in releasing him when they still owe him 7.5 million for next year. He not taking anyone's roster spot, and if by some miracle they figure out what's wrong and can correct it, you don't want to be the team paying him that kind of money to be in another org.

 

But the millisecond he's taking a spot away from someone with a legit chance at contributing... He gone.

I agree, they need to do something creative in hopes to get some return on investment. It's virtually a guarantee he's worthless as is.

[over500]

dat contract.

[Spoonovic]

Damn homie... in high school you was the man homie.

Not worthless. If we need to throw the season, we can call up Rickey... pretty much guaranteeing ourselves a top draft pick.

IIRC, they tried to change his delivery last year in ST, but he gave up on the changes and went back to his old one. He done.

Romero and Drabek could tank this season rapidly yes

[TDotttt2005]

Can Dickey teach Rickey and Drabek the knuckleball?

[ElNik2013]

Romero and Drabek could tank this season rapidly yes

 

 

Should've done this last year, would've been a higher pick.

[G-Snarls]

Should've done this last year, would've been a higher pick.

 

... that we still wouldn't have signed

[ElNik2013]

... that we still wouldn't have signed

 

 

Well, it would be a higher pick for this June's draft, lol.

[TDotttt2005]

Well, it would be a higher pick for this June's draft, lol.

 

Still probably wont sign. AA's non realistic value assessments.

Ricky will win the Cy Young one year..BOOK IT!
