Even though I forgot Romero for a bit, until Tac brought him up in my OF thread, there is something worth remembering here: Dipoto has sold/brushed away Blash, Kivlehan, Choi, etc. He didn't give Romero the boot. Go figure. Maybe there is no market for Romero, but maybe he likes something there. I will say this, as well, when you follow MLBTR there is lots of talk (on a reoccuring basis) about guys who are top prospects for their MLB teams. 2 times out of 3, or even 3 or 4, their MiLB credentials are no way near Romero's.
He isn't going to hit .280 in the bigs, but he doesn't have to. If he can whack .260 and walk just a bit, he's going to slug enough to be valuable.
Here's to all of that!
And I wouldn't mind seeing him in CF now and again during ST.
