Your 2006 Arizona Brewers -- Latest: LHP Jose Romero


Brewer Fanatic Staff

Two young Brewer Venezuelan farmhands, LHP's Jose Romero (19 years old) and Luis Ramirez (17) pitched for the Venezuelan Summer League last season as part of the VSL Orioles squad (the Brewers no longer have an official team presence in the VSL).

 

Romero, in particular, was stellar, as his Player Index page shows:

That line includes a complete game shutout.

 

Look for him in Arizona (maybe even Helena) this summer. Not often we see debut lines like that, even from the old DSL and VSL days.

Do we know if the Brewers paid them a king's ransom for his contract?

 

No, nothing like that at all.

 

Many organizations "split" assignments among teams in the VSL in order to fill up the full squads; I'm sure the Brewers simply asked the Orioles if these two pitchers, signed by the Brewers, could play in their native Venezuela last season on the Orioles squad. This arrangement was made prior to last season, not after.
