He’s not a big factor with that bat, though, and the combination of a lack of MLB experience/success and age hurt his value compared to the three catchers the Yankees have dealt recently. What I meant by good enough is that he’s not the most exciting of back up catchers (if there is such a thing) like Sanchez would be, but he’s a fine option to use as McCann’s back up.

With such a prolific left handed starter in McCann, that carries a lot more weight than general stats against mostly right handed pitching. Romine’s also a solid defensive catcher. Good enough is a little bit under-selling. If Romine does well he could be a real target at the trade deadline from a team that’s not concerned with sending him back down. Yankee catchers have brought in a lot of value as of late (Montero, Cervelli, Murphy).
