[QUOTE="IlliniFaninHoosierLand, post: 1781540, member: 85743"] Yeah. Pretty much this. That plus Donovan has basically taken over Sosa's role and Donovan has a better bat. Here's what MLB Trade Rumors says about Romero: Romero has appeared in 25 MLB games over the past three seasons, pitching to a 7.89 ERA in 21 2/3 innings. The 25-year-old has been quite home run prone in the big leagues, but he’s averaged nearly 95 MPH on his fastball and received decent grades on both his changeup and slider while he was a prospect. Romero has missed the bulk of the past two seasons after undergoing Tommy John surgery last May, but he returned from the injured list a couple weeks ago. He’s in his second of three option seasons, so the Cards can move him between St. Louis and Memphis over the next year and a half if he holds his 40-man roster spot. St. Louis already has [URL='https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/c/cabrege01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=&utm_medium=referral']Genesis Cabrera[/URL], [URL='https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/t/thompza02.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=&utm_medium=referral']Zack Thompson[/URL], [URL='https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/n/naughpa01.shtml']Packy Naughton[/URL] and [URL='https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/m/mcfartj01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=&utm_medium=referral']T.J.
