Back in 2005, the Blue Jays drafted a left-handed starter by the name of Ricky Romero, taking him 6th overall. The selection was criticized, especially early in Romero’s career, as he was selected ahead of several talented players, including current Blue Jay Troy Tulowitzki, who was taken 7th by the Colorado Rockies.
Fast forward to today, and Romero was released by the San Francisco Giants organization, as he was trying to work his way back to the big leagues. Romero has never been quite the same since his season went rapidly downhill in 2012, and he’s only pitched 8.
