Deibinson Romero, 3B, Indianapolis – 10.91 RC
Stats: 9-for-19, 2 2B, 3 HR, 3 BB, 2 K
Notes: Over the off-season there was a bit of hope that Romero could be a sleeper. FanGraphs named him the top minor league free agent, based on the Steamer projections. They had him as the most likely to be the next Yangervis Solarte, which would be a big boost for the Pirates, since they are thin at third base if Josh Harrison goes down. Romero had a quiet Spring, but is heating up lately, with three homers in the last week. It’s only one good week, but Romero will be a guy to watch going forward, especially after the off-season prediction.
