Jamie Romak - OF - Cardinals

Cardinals acquired OF Jamie Romak from the Royals for cash considerations.

Romak has hit just .147 with a .422 OPS in his first 11 games this season at the Triple-A level and is 26 years old, but he slugged 23 home runs at Double-A in 2011. The Cardinals will hope for a big turnaround.

Royals re-signed 1B-DH Jamie Romak to a minor league contract.

Romak, 26, batted .251/.343/.460 with 23 home runs, 71 RBI and an .803 OPS over 505 plate appearances with Double-A Northwest Arkansas this season while splitting time between first base and DH. He'll continue to ply his trade at the minor league level in 2012.

Jamie Romak - OF - Cardinals

Royals signed OF Jamie Romak to a minor league contract.

Romak comes from the Pirates system, in which he hit for a terrible line of .191/.265/.313 across high-A Lynchburg and Double-A Altoona. The 23-year old is just one year removed from an .862 total OPS at the same levels in 2008, so can't be written off just yet.

Jamie Romak - OF - Cardinals

Jamie Romak went 3-for-5 with a homer and a double Monday for Scottsdale of the AFL.

Romak did stumble after finally getting promoted to Double-A at the end of July, but he still managed a 745 OPS. He's at .300/.356/.425 in 40 at-bats so far in Arizona. A scary strikeout rate holds him back as a prospect, but he's clearly one of the most promising players in a rather shallow Pittsburgh farm system.

Jamie Romak - OF - Cardinals

Jamie Romak went 3-for-4 and hit his 13th homer Saturday for Single-A Lynchburg.

The 22-year-old Romak was due for a promotion a month ago, and it's ridiculous that he's still in the Carolina League when the Pirates have little blocking him in Double-A. He's hitting .301/.387/.597 in 186 at-bats for Lynchburg.

Jamie Romak - OF - Cardinals

22-year-old Jamie Romak had a two-homer game Tuesday for Single-A Lynchburg.

Romak is batting .261/.333/.534 with six homers in 23 games since returning from elbow surgery. He may not be dominating, but he should be tested with a promotion to Double-A before much longer. He has an 864 OPS in 108 games in the Carolina League over the last year.

Jamie Romak went 2-for-5 with a double Friday in his season debut for Single-A Lynchburg.

Romak, one of the Pirates' top position prospects, missed the first month while rehabbing following elbow surgery.

Jamie Romak - OF - Cardinals

Pirates prospect Jamie Romak, who is on the way back from elbow surgery, hopes to resume playing in the minors this week.

Romak has been playing the outfield in intrasquad games and getting a lot of at-bats. "I feel great," Romak said. "Really it is the best that the elbow has felt in three years." Romak's season will begin at high-A Lynchburg, but he should reach Double-A this year.

Jamie Romak - OF - Cardinals

Jamie Romak had a three-run double Friday for Waikiki of the Hawaiian Winter League.

Romak, who turned 22 three weeks ago, is hitting .217/.379/.348 in 46 at-bats. He finished at .256/.383/.496 with two A-ball clubs this year. It's expected that his HWL season will be cut short because he's going to play for Team Canada in next month's World Cup.

Jamie Romak - OF - Cardinals

Single-A Lynchburg's Jamie Romak went 3-for-4 with two homers and a walk on Friday.

Romak has 10 homers in 142 at-bats since his promotion and is batting .270/.419/.564 with 15 homers in 211 at-bats on the season. Maybe the Pirates didn't downgrade after all when they swapped prospects in the Adam LaRoche-Mike Gonzalez deal. Brent Lillibridge hasn't been as impressive as hoped in the Atlanta system this season.

Jamie Romak - OF - Cardinals

Jamie Romak went 0-for-3 with a walk Tuesday in his debut for Single-A Lynchburg.

Both Romak and Brad Corley, who was moved up to Double-A, are where they should have been at the start of the year after getting promoted this week. Romak, a product of the Adam LaRoche-Mike Gonzalez trade, hit .275/.393/.551 in 69 at-bats for low Single-A Hickory.

Jamie Romak - OF - Cardinals

Low Single-A Hickory's Jamie Romak hit his third homer Thursday in eight games this season.

It makes little sense that Romak, who was acquired along with Adam LaRoche in the trade with the Braves back in January, is repeating the South Atlantic League after hitting .247/.369/.471 there last year. He needs to be in high-A showing what he can do.

Jamie Romak - OF - Cardinals

Outfielder Jamie Romak was traded from the Braves to the Pirates in a four-player deal.

Romak hit .247/.369/.471 as a 20-year-old at low Single-A Rome last season. He doesn't offer much in the way of defense, but he has power and patience, two things typically in short supply in Pittsburgh. If he reaches the majors, it will probably be a platoon player. The right-handed hitter batted .277/.371/.555 against lefties last season.
