Ricky Romero

Just pitched a complete game 5 hit 12k preformance against the Rangers... He was dealing... looks like this is his coming out season.. any thoughts?

After a few shakey start last few weeks I think he's a solid 3rd starter. He's not a team ace by any means and this is just his first shut out. But honestly I'd be happy if he gets me 7innings 2er 2bb and 5Ks.

I think he's a legitimate above average fantasy starter. A solid #3 sounds about right. Based on his numbers from the minors as well as last season with the Jays, his current K/9 doesn't appear to be sustainable but if he can maintain a high GB% and keep the ball in the ballpark he's going to be fine.

Also it looks like he added a cutter this year which may explain some of his studliness this season. But from what I've read he has a dominant change up...which I always consider a great sign...if you can keep hitters off balance your chances of success increase pretty substantially.
