Fernando Romero has arrived for the Minnesota Twins and has far exceeded expectations, so far. Through his first two starts, Romero has continued his hot stretch that he started while playing with the Rochester Red Wings. His start in Triple-A almost forced the Twins hand and Romero has been better than advertised.
Romero pitched only 21 innings and surrendered eight runs, six earned, with Rochester. The funny thing is, he wasn’t doing anything out of the ordinary in Triple-A to make you pay close attention. However, Romero has been consistently pitching well in the Minors during the last few seasons, and all of that hard work has paid off.
