A few days ago, we handed out grades for the 2017 Rays hitters. Today we’ll be looking at the pitchers. Pretty straightforward set-up, so let’s get to the action.
Sergio Romo: A Romo came to the Rays on July 22 and, over the final 13 weeks, posted a 1.47 ERA and was worth 0.6 fWAR. The only thing keeping this grade from being an A+ is that his underlying numbers weren’t quite as dominant (4.20 xFIP). What he actually did on the mound for Tampa was electric and came at a highly important time for the Rays.
