The Great Big 2012 Blue Jays Forecast Series, Part 15: Ricky Romero

With spring training officially just under a month away, we continue with a series of projections on what the 2012 Toronto Blue Jays might look like. Each day (don’t hold me to this), I will profile a 2012 Blue Jays starter, closing with a set of numbers based on my (usually positive) expectations. We complete our look at the projected starting rotation today with a few words...

Player Profile #75: Ricky Romero | SP | TOR

If Jeremy Hellickson is the winner of the 2011 Pitch Who Best Outperformed Their Peripherals Award, then Ricky Romero is definitely the runner up. Last season, Romero’s 1.28-run gap between his ERA and FIP was the second largest in baseball (where the ERA was lower) behind only Hellickson. Romero ranked 60th on the season and we’re ranking him at 75, so clearly we think...

2012 Fantasy Baseball Toronto Blue Jays Starting Rotation Preview

Ricky Romero (credits below) Looks like the Blue Jays are happy with the young starting pitching staff they have assembled as they did virtually nothing this winter in the free agent market to help the staff with the exception of adding a steady closer in Sergio Santos. Ricky Romero is poised to take the next step as the team's ace and he will be followed most likely by Brandon...

Ricky Romero Player Projection No. 91

Key Stats: For two seasons in 2009 and 2010, Ricky Romero demonstrated that he was capable of being a dominating force in fantasy baseball. In June of 2009, he was the 38th best player according to Yahoo and in April of 2010 he was also the 38th best player in that month. Romero's problem has been that he has not been able to establish consistent success. He did make very subtle...

Ricky Romero Wins NESN Nation's 'Southward Bound' Player of Game Award

So long, Canada. The country has not been particularly kind to Red Sox these last few days and we're sure the team is happy to get out of there and avoid facing the Blue Jays for a while... Oh, wait. The Sox have a short trip to Tampa and then will welcome the Blue Jays to Fenway Park as soon as next Tuesday. Well, then. Hopefully Boston will have some home cooking of their own...

Ricky Romero Blanks A’s In Dominating Fashion

The last time we talked about Ricky Romero here, the Blue Jays ace was coming off the heels of a trio of solid starts in August that saw him give up just 4 runs over 23 innings of work, earning victories in all of the outings. That’s pretty damned good, but Romero did one better tonight, throwing the best game of his 2011 season – and probably his career so far –...

Ricky Romero Continues Struggles Against Red Sox, Blue Jays Lose Series Finale

Every good pitcher in the big leagues – even the best ones – have teams that, for whatever reason, just seem to have the hurler’s number. For former Blue Jays ace Roy Halladay, it’s the Texas Rangers (8-7 in 20 starts, 5.17/1.38 ERA/WHIP); for Ricky Romero, the current ace of the Jays, the Achilles heel may well be the Boston Red Sox. Going into tonight’s series finale...

Ricky Romero Vents Frustration At Blue Jays Offense, Then (Sort Of) Backs Off

After yesterday’s 0-2 shutout loss moved the Blue Jays below 500., and put the 7th L on Ricky Romero’s season, the Blue Jays ace vented some of his frustration for the lack of run support he’d been getting. Speaking to the press about the game, Romero said “”We didn’t score runs; you don’t score, you don’t win,” and that “...
