The Philadelphia Phillies re-sign J.C. Romero
The Phillies have re-signed 34-year old lefty reliever J.C. Romero. Romero pitched in 60 games (0 starts) for the Phillies last season and he was 1-0 with 3 saves, a 3.68 ERA and a 1.61 WHIP. He has now pitched in 213 games (0 starts) in his first four years with the Phillies and he is 6-6 with 4 saves, a 2.60 ERA and a 1.37 WHIP. Romero has only given up 99 hits in 148 2/3 innings with the Phillies as he misses a lot of bats but he has also walked 105 batters and that is way too many. It was smart of the Phillies to bring back Romero for another year.
