Romero did admit that he pitched with pain throughout the season thus leading to an MRI at the end of the year. Doesn’t this make you wonder that things were worse than what people led on?
If your elbow is hurting that much that it requires surgery, maybe this should have been something that was dealt with months ago.
People all year were questioning what was wrong with Romero? He was supposedly the Ace of the staff, signed a long-term deal and was ready for the spotlight. Instead he had the worst year of his career after having his best. He led the league in walks (105), tied for 5th in losses with 14 and had an ERA of 5.77.
