Jamie Romak Gets The Call

Jamie Romak was recalled by the Los Angeles Dodgers the other day after being on a minor league oddysey that lasted 12 seasons with 5 different organizations. Romak was originally drafted by the Atlanta Braves in the 4th Round of the 2003 draft. He has played in over 1000 minor league games and has 4300 at bats, with over 150 homeruns. He has 13 homeruns with Albuquerque this season and has shown some pop in his bat throughout his minor league career. I believed that the Dodgers would call up Outfielder Joc Pederson but Romak offered more versatility being able to play the oufield and the infield corner positions. Romak got his first career at bat against the Cincinnati Reds and has played in three games so far with 2 at bats and no hits. You have to pull for a player that has put in that kind of time in the minors and finally gets the call.
