Fantasy Analysis
Romero has just eight hits in 2011 at the minor league level through 56 at-bats, so he has not exactly elevated his game to induce the move. However, he has played in 12 games at the big-league level since 1009, with two hits as a member of the Indians. Fantasy owners should not expect Romero to make an immediate impact, so he can be ignored in all formats until further notice. (Updated 05/25/2011).
