I'm more surprised that Sal Romano ever made it to the majors and actually stayed there for three years. Then I have to remind myself the kind of pitchers the Reds were trotting out there for a couple years.
Majors: 1.470 WHIP
AAA: 1.382 WHIP
AA: 1.330 WHIP
A+: 1.308 WHIP
A: 1.494 WHIP
Rk: 1.508 WHIP
He's literally never had a level of baseball where his WHIP was anywhere near good. He has a career 4.31 ERA, 1.411 WHIP in the minors. He's only had one partial season in AAA where he allowed less than 9.0 H/9, and that year he allowed 8.9 H/9. His stuff never beat anyone. He just lucked out that he was around at a time when the Reds constantly had the worst starting pitching staff in MLB for 3 years or whatever straight.
Not surprised he cleared waivers.
