    Left-hander Ricky Romero will be the Blue Jays' Opening Day starter just two seasons after barely making Toronto's roster.

    Manager John Farrell made the announcement Friday. Romero was No. 2 in the rotation last season behind Shaun Marcum, who has been traded to the Milwaukee Brewers.

    "It means everything," Romero said of starting against the Minnesota Twins at home on April 1. "It means a lot. To be able to do what I've accomplished in the first two years of my career with Toronto has been amazing. I told Farrell that I was about as excited as I was when I was called in [to his office] and told that I'd made the team."
