MWL1 Beloit Sky Carp

Injury Bug Bites Again

Beloit Sky Carp News Release


The Beloit Snappers, in conjunction with the Minnesota Twins, have placed infielder Deibinson Romero on the disabled list with a fractured right leg. Romero injured his leg making a remarkable catch while falling into the home dugout during Friday night's game. To fill his spot on the roster, the Twins have promoted infielder Juan Richardson to Beloit from the Elizabethton Twins.

Romero heads to the DL for the second time this season after hitting .264 with three home runs and 18 RBIs in 39 games. Deibinson was coming off a left knee injury that sidelined him from April 28th to June 18th earlier this season.

Signed by the Twins as a non-drafted free agent in July of 2004, Romero was key in the Snappers 2007 playoff run. Deibinson was promoted to Beloit from E-town last season on September 2nd, one week before Beloit entered the postseason. He helped lead the Snappers all the way to the Midwest League Finals where they would eventually fall to the West Michigan Whitecaps.

Juan Richardson comes to Beloit after spending 15 games with the Elizabethton Twins. While in E-town, Richardson hit .250 with three doubles and 10 RBIs in 60 at-bats.

Richardson was signed by the Twins as a non-drafted free agent in February of '07. Juan spent 2007 with the GCL Twins where he hit .317 with 64 hits in 202 at-bats. Richardson also notched 10 doubles and 33 RBIs in 54 games.

The moves, both effective today, leave the Beloit active roster at 24, one below the MWL maximum.
