Fantasy Analysis
Germano started the season in the Padres rotation and pitched well until getting shelled for 10 runs April 21 against the Astros. He would make just two more starts before being put in the bullpen. Now, he might be looking for a new home. Germano is nothing more than a risky Fantasy arm when active in the majors. Ignore him at this time. (Updated 05/22/2008).
