Parker: Mikey Romero Promoted To Worcester

[Nick John]

Following the trade deadline, the Red Sox are promoting one of their top prospects to Worcester. As reported by Beyond the Monster’s Andrew Parker, the Red Sox are promoting infielder Mikey Romero to Triple-A Worcester.

Romero, a former first-round draft pick, is likely being promoted to fill the roster spot left by traded corner infielder Blaze Jordan. Romero, who was initially drafted as a shortstop has seen his time in the field split between third base, second base and shortstop. He has also spent time as the designated hitter.

Known for his offensive potential, Romero appeared in 65 games for Portland, where he hit .250/.313/.436 with 17 doubles, four triples, eight home runs, and 39 RBIs. What may be most impressive for Romero is the fact that he’s on pace to play in the most games of his professional career, beating the 78 games played last season.

Romero will likely see the majority of his playing time come at third base and shortstop as the team sees how he can handle the increased level of play.

I'm glad for Romero, and I am one to think Jordan will never be a good MLB player.

Romero was once ranked 7th by SPs.com. Injuries were part of the reason he fell sharply in the rankings. He's now #10, after the Tibbs trade.

He's got 30 XBHs in 66 games at AA. (.756 OPS) He's an okay defender at 2B & 3B- two positions we need help or depth.

More injury prone than Marcelo Mayer.

Romero and Mayer played together as teenagers at some level (little help?), no doubt with a psychotic coach who made them practice infield pop ups by lofting shot puts at them…

Blaze Jordan is the MLB equivalent of Bo Burnham…

Is that was Hes up to now?

He got his start as a comedian via YouTube, and was among the first to do so.  (It’s rather common now.). But I didn’t know what he was up to and have barely heard his name in years…
