The Detroit Tigers sign infielder Niuman Romero
The Tigers have signed 26-year old switch-hitting infielder Niuman Romero to a minor league deal. Romero played in 75 games in AA+AAA-ball last year and he was 55 of 238 (.231 avg, .555 OPS) with 24 runs scored, 0 homers, 23 RBIs and 8 stolen bases. He last played in the majors back in 2010 with the Red Sox. Romero has played in 12 games in his first two years in the majors and he is 2 for 18 (.111 avg, .269 OPS) with 3 runs scored. I see Romero playing most, if not all, of the 2012 season in AAA-ball.
