... with 178 IP and an FIP of 4.33, worth (according to fangraphs) about 2.7 WAR, the same number as Yovani Gallardo and Derek Lowe and about half a win less than our old friend A.J. Burnett . I'd say that puts Ricky Romero in pretty good company . . . for 2009, at least. But, looking ahead to 2010, what should we expect from Ricky? Well, most people didn't consider him to be much of...

The Brewers were 4-9 by mid-April, but were able to turn it to 12-10 by the end of the month. I was totally wrong that J.J. Hardy was going to turn it around, but I was totally right...
