Giants closer: Could Sergio Romo replace Will Smith?

In a recent article, Around the Foghorn contributor Dzintars Grinfelds tossed out the idea of the San Francisco Giants potentially bringing back veteran reliever Sergio Romo to address the closer void.

It’s an idea worth exploring a bit further.

The 36-year-old began his pro career in the Giants organization, as he was selected in the 28th round of the 2005 MLB draft out of Colorado Mesa University.

He made his MLB debut in 2008 with a 2.12 ERA in 29 appearances and quickly emerged as a staple out of the bullpen during nine seasons with the team.
