All those things he has full control of. It’s very, very comforting to the pitchers, and it’s comforting to the team."

Surroundings Will Be Integral for Romo Next Season Romo will have plenty of opportunity to prove himself as the Rockies catcher of the future. On paper, the surroundings he will have should be an immense help. He has an eight-year vet in Garneau, who brings a wealth of experience at the catcher position and is a familiar face in the organization. Also, Stallings will be able to provide firsthand experience from this past season about successfully taking your offense on the road and, most importantly, he has familiarity with the Rockies pitching staff.
