The Philadelphia Phillies decline 2011 option on J.C. Romero
The Phillies have declined a 2011 option on 34-year old lefty reliever J.C. Romero valued at $4.5 million bucks. Romero pitched in 60 games (0 starts) for the Phillies last seasosn and he was 1-0 with 3 saves, a 3.68 ERA and a 1.61 WHIP. He has pitched in 213 games (0 starts) in his four years with the Phillies and he is 6-6 with 4 saves, a 2.60 ERA and a 1.37 WHIP. I wouldn’t be surprised to see the Phillies try to re-sign Romero for a much lower base salary in 2011.
