Newsbreakers
October 4, 2009
Ricky Romero allowed four runs on five hits and three walks over seven innings on Sunday. He fanned eight but did not earn a decision in the eventual 5-4 extra-inning loss to the Orioles.
Our View:
Romero looked to be having a dynamite rookie campaign, but struggled down the stretch. Since the All Star break he's posted an ERA well over 5.00, which upped his season total to 4.30. He finished with 13 wins.
September 29, 2009
Ricky Romero only allowed two earned runs on seven hits over five innings in Tuesday's 8-7 win at Boston. He had one walk with three strikeouts.
Our View:
It was a solid outing for Romero, and the rookie improved his record to 13-9. He earned his first win against Boston over four starts.
September 24, 2009
Ricky Romero did not factor into the decision n Thursday as the Blue Jays fell to the Mariners by a score of 5-4. Romero went 6.1 innings and allowed three runs on nine hits while walking three and striking out five.
Our View:
Not a bad outing by Romero tonight, and he desprately needed a good showing. After an electric first half, he has struggled down the stretch. He has a bright future in the Jays' rotation, but his AL Rookie of the Year hopes are likely gone.
September 19, 2009
Ricky Romero allowed four runs on seven hits and four walks over six innings on Saturday. He fanned six, but fell to 12-9 as the Jays were shut out 4-0 by Tampa Bay.
Our View:
Romero will be in the conversation for Rookie of the Year in the AL, but he has struggled lately. He has just one quality start in his last five appearances and he has not looked particularly good in any of those.
September 13, 2009
Ricky Romero struggled again on Sunday as the Blue Jays fell to the Tigers 7-2. Romero went six innings and allowed four runs on ten hits while walking three and striking out four.
Our View:
Romero has really struggled in the second half, and he might have hit a wall here as of late. He should be a soid fantasy play in the coming seasons, but right now his value is hurting.
September 8, 2009
Ricky Romero gave up three earned runs on seven hits over 6.2 innings in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Twins at the Rogers Centre. He had three walks with four strikeouts.
Our View:
The rookie earned his 12th win of 2009, and bounced back from his last outing when he was tagged for five earned runs over 4.1 innings against the Yankees.
September 3, 2009
Ricky Romero struggled again on Thursday as the Yankees beat the Blue Jays 10-5. Romero went 4.1 innings and allowed five runs on six hits while walking six and striking out seven.
Our View:
Romero hasn't been great as of late, and the walk totals are becoming very disturbing. The rookie may be wearing down, and he is anything but a reliable fantasy pitcher at this point. Proceed with caution.
August 29, 2009
Ricky Romero fell to 11-6 on Saturday, allowing three runs in 5.1 innings, as the Blue Jays lost 3-2 in Boston.
Our View:
Romero still has a respectable 3.95 ERA, but his 1.44 WHIP makes him a very average fantasy pitcher, and signals trouble down the road.
August 23, 2009
Ricky Romero limited the hot-hitting Angels to just two runs in six innings on Sunday, helping the Blue Jays to an 8-3 victory at home.
Our View:
Romero also successfully rebounded from his shorting outing, 3.2 innings, of the season. He is now 11-5 with a 3.91 ERA in 21 starts.
August 18, 2009
Ricky Romero was rocked for six runs (five earned) on eight hits over a mere 3.2 innings in Tuesday's 10-9 loss to the Red Sox at the Rogers Centre. He had three walks and two strikeouts.
Our View:
Romero was handed a no-decision for his dismal outing, and is winless over his last three starts. He is 10-7 with a 3.95 ERA, and hopefully the rookie is not starting to wear down.
August 12, 2009
Ricky Romero held the Yankees to three runs on four hits and three walks on Wednesday, but did not factor in the decision as the Blue Jays fell 4-3.
Our View:
Romero did strike out five and earned a quality start despite not getting the win on Wednesday. The rookie left-hander has had a quality outing in two out of his last three starts, which is a nice bounce back after allowing four earned runs in his three starts prior to that.
August 7, 2009
Ricky Romero allowed two earned runs on four hits over six innings in Friday's 7-5 loss to the Orioles at the Rogers Centre. He had two walks and three strikeouts.
Our View:
Romero was dealt a loss for his solid outing, and had his three-game winning streak snapped. The rookie is 10-4 with a 3.50 ERA, and shall remain active in fantasy lineups for his next turn in Toronto's rotation.
August 2, 2009
Ricky Romero held the A's to just two runs on eight hits and a walk over seven innings on Sunday. He picked up his 10th victory of the season and fanned five in the 7-2 winner.
Our View:
This was a nice bounce back game after three straight starts of allowing four runs. Romero has been a great surprise for the Jays and has to be considered a finalist for the Rookie of the Year award.
July 22, 2009
Ricky Romero gave up four earned runs on six hits over 5.1 innings in Wednesday's 10-6 win over the Indians at the Rogers Centre. He issued five walks with two strikeouts.
Our View:
The rookie did not pitch well tonight, but the Jays provided enough offensive firepower for him to collect his eighth win of the season, ranking him second on the team behind only ace hurler Roy Halladay (11).
July 17, 2009
Ricky Romero struggled again against the Red Sox on Friday as the Blue Jays fell to Boston 4-1. Romero went 4.1 innings and allowed four runs on five hits while walking five and striking out eight.
Our View:
Romero struggled early, then went on a streak where he recorded six straight outs by strikeout, then struggle a bit again. He has not been good against Boston in his career, but he should still be a solid play against everyone else this season.
July 11, 2009
Ricky Romero gave up three earned runs on seven hits over eight innings in Saturday's 4-3 loss at Baltimore. He had three walks and three strikeouts.
Our View:
Romero takes a no-decision rather than a loss. He was riding a four-game winning streak heading into tonight's game, and the rookie should remain active in fantasy leagues for his next turn in the Jays' rotation.
July 6, 2009
Ricky Romero had another solid outing on Monday, surrendering just three earned runs in the bandbox also known as Yankee Stadium, and picked up his seventh win as the Jays won 7-6.
Our View:
Romero is having one of the better rookie campaigns in all of baseball, and could even surpass Rick Porcello as the AL's top rookie starter if he keeps up at the rate he's been going. He's bound to have a bit of a comedown, but should be owned in all formats for the time being.
July 1, 2009
Ricky Romero was in control from the hill in Wednesday's 5-0 win over the Rays at the Rogers Centre, as he only allowed four hits over eight scoreless innings. He issued four walks with seven strikeouts.
Our View:
It was a great outing for Romero despite the four free passes. The rookie has won three straight starts and trimmed his ERA to 2.85. He shall remain active in fantasy leagues.
June 26, 2009
Ricky Romero shut down the Phillies in tonight's 6-1 win at the Rogers Centre, as he only issued two hits over seven scoreless innings. He had one walk and fired seven strikeouts.
Our View:
Romero collected his third win over five starts this month, and allowed two or less earned runs three times over the span. Keep the rookie active in fantasy leagues while pitching well.
June 21, 2009
Ricky Romero allowed two earned runs on eight hits over seven innings in Sunday's 9-4 win at Washington. He had three walks and fired six strikeouts.
Our View:
Romero now has a winning record at 4-3, and he trimmed his ERA to 3.59. The rookie is 2-1 with a 2.96 ERA over four starts this month, and is worth consideration in AL-only leagues for his next trip to the mound.
June 16, 2009
Ricky Romero allowed three earned runs on six hits over seven innings in Tuesday's 8-3 win at Philadelphia. He had two walks and racked up nine strikeouts. The battle took 10 innings to decide.
Our View:
The rookie was dealt a no-decision, but fantasy owners should still be pleased with his performance. His record remains even at 3-3.
June 11, 2009
Ricky Romero pitched well in Thursday's 1-0 loss at Texas, as he only allowed one earned run on five hits over 6.1 innings of work. He issued two walks with six strikeouts.
Our View:
Romero deserved to win, but unfortunately his teammates did not provide any offensive support. His record falls to an even 3-3, with all three losses coming over his last four starts.
June 5, 2009
Ricky Romero allowed three earned runs on five hits over seven innings in Friday's 9-3 win over the Royals at the Rogers Centre. He had two walks and five strikeouts.
Our View:
It was not a solid outing, but Romero's teammates provided enough offensive support for him to claim his third win of the season. He snapped a two-game losing streak.
May 31, 2009
Ricky Romero had another rough outing on Sunday in the Blue Jays' 8-2 loss to the Red Sox. Romero went four innings and allowed five runs on six hits while walking five and striking out five.
Our View:
Something is wrong with Romero. As good as he was at the beginning of the season, he has been equally as bad since his return from the DL. Fantasy owners should probably stay away until he proves he can get the job done.
May 26, 2009
Ricky Romero struggled in his return to the Blue Jays' rotation on Tuesday as his team fell to the Orioles 7-2. Romero went 5.1 innings and allowed five runs on 11 hits while walking one and striking out three.
Our View:
Romero looked nothing like the pitcher we saw earlier this season tonight. This start is very concerning after his poor showing during his rehab starts, and Romero owners may want to look for another option. Give him one more start, but if he doesn't get it done feel free to find someone else who will.
May 22, 2009
MLB.com is reporting that the Blue Jays will recall Ricky Romero from the minor leagues to start on Tuesday. Romero has been recovering from an oblique injury that shelved him after three starts.
Our View:
Romero was outstanding with the Jays before his injury, but in his three minor league rehab starts he was a combined 0-1 with a 6.91 ERA. It is worth the gamble in AL-only leagues, but mixed league owners may want to see what he's got before adding him.
May 5, 2009
Ricky Romero, recovering from a strained right oblique, is now pain-free when he sneezes, according to MLB.com. He also added that he's been throwing all of his pitches in his bullpen sessions and is encouraged by his progress. "It's feeling good. It feels like I'm pretty much back to normal," Romero said. "There's no pain, no stiffness, which is a really, really positive sign. I just want to see what it's going to be like when game speed comes up, and hopefully, I can rebound from it -- sitting down, getting up each inning."
Our View:
Romero will pitch for Single-A Dunedin on Friday and again on May 13 before the team decides how to proceed with his rehab.
April 25, 2009
MLB.com reports that Ricky Romero, who is on the DL with a strained oblique, is expected to throw on Monday in Kansas City. He is hoping to return in mid-May.
Our View:
The rookie got off to a hot start with a 1.71 ERA through 21 innings pitched. The Blue Jays will likely be cautious in bringing him back as his young arm is one of the more valuable assets in their organization.
April 23, 2009
Ricky Romero has been placed on the 15-day DL by the Blue Jays, according to the Toronto Star. He is dealing with a right oblique muscle strain.
Our View:
Romero was off to a strong start with a 2-0 mark, 1.71 ERA and 1.10 WHIP over his first three starts of the season. The move is retroactive to April 20. The club is yet to announce an adjoining move, or his replacement in the rotation.
April 19, 2009
Ricky Romero was superb in a win over Oakland on Sunday, failing to give up a run off four his and two walks with six strikeouts in seven innings.
Our View:
The 24-year-old lefty has looked excellent through three starts thus far, showing decent strikeout potential with excellent control; he hasn't walked a batter in his past two outings. He's well worth a pickup at this point if he happens to still be available, which he very well may be.
April 14, 2009
Ricky Romero tossed eight solid innings against the Twins, but didn't factor in on the decision as the Jays lost 3-2 in the 11th inning. He allowed just two runs on eight hits and struck out two.
Our View:
This is the second straight solid start for the Jays prospect. He's only allowed four runs in 14 innings (good for a 2.57 ERA) and could be a decent waiver wire grab in AL-only leagues.
April 9, 2009
Ricky Romero allowed two earned runs on seven hits over six innings of work in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Tigers at home, with two walks and five strikeouts.
Our View:
It was a solid first outing for the former first-round pick (2005), and he is worth targeting if dangling on the waiver wire in AL-only leagues.
March 30, 2009
Ricky Romero has won a spot in the Blue Jays' rotation, according to MLB.com.
Our View:
Romero was the first pitcher selected (sixth overall) in the 2005 first-year player draft, and he is worth a look as a flier for AL-only leagues.
March 29, 2009
Ricky Romero surrendered two runs on eight hits in seven innings against Houston on Sunday afternoon.
Our View:
Romero also impressed with six strikeouts against the Astros. The 24-year-old hurler is headed for a spot in the Jays rotation and could emerge as a solid fantasy commodity as the season transpires.
March 23, 2009
Ricky Romero pitched five innings against the Reds on Monday, allowing two runs on seven hits while striking out five.
Our View:
Romero helped his case today for a spot in the Jays' rotation, if only for a while. Romero could offer some value in AL-only leagues if he is able to replace Casey Janssen while the latter recovers from injury over the first month or so of the season.
