SCOTTSDALE, ARIZ. - The San Francisco Giants are stocked with talented pitchers, with Madison Bumgarner, Matt Cain, Johnny Cueto, Jeff Samardzija and Jake Peavy having been named All-Stars at least once.
Those five figure to comprise the opening day starting rotation for the Giants. But there's another former All-Star on the Giants' spring training roster who is trying to make the most of the opportunity he has, though he faces long odds to make the major-league roster out of camp.
Veteran left-hander Ricky Romero is trying to revive a career derailed by injuries to both knees. An All-Star in 2011 with his original team, the Toronto Blue Jays, Romero hasn't pitched in the big leagues since 2013.
