I wondered about a LF option for Romero. Did not know he had some MiLB experience there. But a guy who can play 2B and 3B can probably manage a decent COF.
It will be interesting to see what the M's do with him. Do you give him a 20-game Cup of Tea in Tacoma ths year? Probably not, considering the folks in Tacoma....but I would not be adverse. In fact, I think I would welcome it. Prodigious hitting talent rises quickly: Way quickly.
I would hate to see the M's shuffle him back to Jackson next spring for more AA "seasoning." That is a move I don't understand. When a kid creams the ball like Romero has and you DON'T move him quickly, I think it creates a mind-set of "Man, what do I have to do? Hit .440?" And at that point pressing begins and a natural hitter's relaxation withers. I truely believe that has been part of Carp's problem this year.
All the same, he's going to be one of the most interesting ST players to watch next year.
If he hits like this next May, it will be hard not to give him a shot.
