And it doesn't take away from Romero, but it's extremely assumptive to assume his numbers would be correlate and be the same over the course of 50+ games.

most catchers don't play in 55+ games regardless. And Romero has played in 42 but started in 31. It just took that long before Mainieri realized Papierski's defense wasn't enough better than Romero's to justify keeping him on the bench. I see what you're saying, but it's not like Romero has only played the second half of the season. He's been the most clutch player on the LSU team this year. I think it's also presumptive to say his numbers would be worse had he started sooner. His numbers are what they are and they are very good.

W/o looking it up, it would mainly come down to whether or not Romero qualified for the "batting title" or not. Ya know like in MLB (and college). Aka a reserve that goes 13/26 isn't gonna "lead the league" in batting average b/c he hit .500)

Honestly, I didn't even think of Romero for this reason (right or wrong). I could very well be wrong. If he "qualifies" that's probably for sure enough to pass him by Rivera at the very the least.
