Ricky Romero faded down the stretch in 2009, as most rookies do, but he does possess the raw skills to make him an impact player. I like Romero as a back-end-of-the-rotation guy in deeper leagues, but if he can't put it all together on a consistent basis, he'll be useless. In 10-12 team formats, keep him off your draft lists and place him on the watch list to start the season. Make him prove he can do it first.

Positives / Upside	Romero has great pedigree (a former 1st round pick) and showed flashes of what he can do last season. He'll pile up strikeouts and if he can keep his walks in check, he'll have serviceable ratios.
Negatives / Downside	Walks. Romero has a tendency he issue free passes at a pretty high rate. Last year, this led to to an inflated WHIP and ERA.
Recommendation	Buy at cost
Draft Position	323
