Romero plays at second base, but could play at third if you wanted him to (he's a big dude - BIG). We have Ackley and Seager at those positions. I don't expect to rush him to the bigs. He can do what Catricala did and spend some time in Tacoma. Hopefully he doesn't faceplant there like Vinnie did.
But there's no dire need to rush him up to fill. Our options for second base are: Ackley, Seager, Franklin, Miller, Romero, Triunfel and Marder, all of whom will be at AA or higher next year if they remain with us. Franklin, Miller and Romero are all candidates for a top-100 list.
Part of our problem is that we have a ton of guys duplicating one position, and a potential 40-man crunch. In fact, that sounds like an article...
