what is the potential of travis snyder and ricardo romero

Welcome to the board - better titles are needed. Thanks.

JP did his postgame show on the fan yesterday and he talked about Romero. Supposedly he struck out 8 in 7 or 9 in 8 or something in his last start and has been looking good, though he has had some bad luck run support wise and therefore his win/loss record has suffered They expect him to get about 6 starts through the end of the year and they'll evaluate his position for next year from there.

IDK about Snider.

From what I heard around draft time last year is that Snyder has a very high ceiling, with a bat/swing reminiscent of a young Jim Thome.

I definitely like the sounds of that. Do we have an approximation of about how far away he is?

My impression of Romero, as it has been since he was drafted, is that he's a guy who should be able to step up to the majors relatively quickly, possibly next season or the year after that.

Snyder is still in the very first stage of A ball I believe. They arent rushing him at all, nor should they - its his first year out of high school.

Snider has got .300 30/40 hr potential.
Romero at his very best can be a #2 starter but it seems injuries have ruined his year. Hopefully he can rebound next year.

Travis Snyder will be my homeboy in 4 years when Im done uni and get Jays season tickets.

I really think Snyder will be the Jays best player in about 8 years. He will put up good power and average numbers which really isn't too common. Can't wait to see him play.

Travis Synder is our future Left Fielder. He is a definite power hitter, and a sure star of the Blue Jays

Romero has been absolutely awful this season. He does have stuff that could make him a future rotation player, but I wouldn't put my stock into him.

Snyder will probably touch the lineup in the 2009 season, definitely by 2010.
