MInor League Player and Pitcher of the Year Award

John, I was wondering if you would do two of these, one for full season leagues and one for short season? That would be really sweet.

Romo's 2007 season at San Jose was a thing of beauty

I have been a huge fan since. I thought that was perfection, that was his masterpiece. No, I was wrong.

how is this guy so good

His slider

According to the SF broadcasters his slider doesn’t have the typical slider spin. So, not only does it break a foot and a half, but it is very difficult to pick up.

His fastball has pretty good movement and he locates it and the slider very well.

His numbers this year are almost exclusively against RH hitters, but his career numbers suggest he is just as good against LH hitters.

All Giants fans love the guy and love watching him pitch. He is also much better than Brian Wilson. He just doesn’t generate as much revenue as his beard.
