Prior to last season I didn't think Romano was an elite closing arm. I can see the argument he is though, but I don't think he's top tier in movement. He does tend to get the job done but they need a backup for sure. Hicks could be the top velocity arm available. I'd like to see him back but this year with so many high payroll teams not making it, the FA market will be a bloodbath, so I can see him getting a bigger deal elsewhere. Agree on the principle though.
