Ironically enough, one of the most criticized draft picks in Blue Jays history would be when they passed on Troy Tulowitzki and instead selected Ricky Romero in the 2005 amateur draft. It took a while for Romero to show fans why the Blue Jays selected him, but in time the selection wouldn’t look as bad as it did while he was still a minor leaguer.
There was a time when Romero looked like he would be a front of the rotation starter in the big leagues for the long haul, and then unfortunately things fell apart for him at a relatively young age.
