Toronto's Romero Working Extremely Hard In Offseason
9th February, 2010 - 11:51 am
Toronto Star - Ricky Romero spent his off-season training hard to cement his spot among Toronto's starting pitchers.

"I'm humbled and hungry, man," Romero said. "I've never gotten complacent and I'm not about to start now. ... There's about 15 other guys that want my job and every one of them is hungry."

In addition to his throwing sessions, Romero worked out at Athletes' Performance in suburban Carson, Calif., putting in two-hour sessions four days a week, and fine-tuning for the grind that begins with spring training in two weeks.

"I feel I'm ready to tackle a 200-plus inning season," said Romero, who logged 178 innings last year.
