Orioles designated LHP J.C. Romero for assignment. So continues a season of releases and DFAs for the 36-year-old lefty, who says he's considering retirement. Romero hasn't really been a serviceable pitcher since 2008, posting a 4.30 ERA and 1.69 WHIP in 90 innings since 2009. His career may be over even if he doesn't retire.
