Former G-Stro Levi Romero Pitching In Japan

Levi Romero, who was a solid part of the pitching staff in 2004 for the Greeneville Astros, is pitching in the Japan in the NPB for the SoftBank Hawks.  He has pitched both in major league games and in the developmental league games.  I am unsure of his status but it appears he is with the big club.
