The 2010 season was a tough one for Romero. He struggled mightily, posting a 6.34 ERA in 28 games (27 starts). His record was just 8-17. It was by far the worst season of his career.

Despite his struggles, Romero continued to work hard and remained positive. He knew that he still had a chance to make it to the Major Leagues.

In 2011, things began to turn around for Romero. He started the season back in Durham, but after posting a 3.38 ERA in 12 starts, he was called up to the Rays’ Big League club on June 10th.
