Newsbreakers

December 17, 2009

The Dodgers signed Angel Berroa to a minor league deal on Thursday, according to MLB.com.

Our View:

Berroa will have a chance to win a role as a utility infielder for the Dodgers but will not be making any sort of a fantasy impact.

August 7, 2009

Angel Berroa has been designated for assignment, according to the New York Post's Bart Hubbuch.

Our View:

The Mets finally figured out what the rest of baseball already knew - Angel Berroa is the worst offensive player in the game and his defense has regressed. Barring a major upset, his major league playing days are over (unless of course the Royals are looking to upgrade).

July 30, 2009

Angel Berroa had his first multi-RBI since last September 24th, helping Johan Santana and the Mets blank the Rockies 7-0.

Our View:

Glory glory alleluia! Berroa won't be finishing the season with just one RBI after all. Even the worst offensive player in baseball drives in runs sometimes.

July 16, 2009

The New York Post is reporting that the Mets have recalled infielder Angel Berroa from Triple-A Buffalo. In a corresponding move, the team optioned infielder Argenis Reyes to Triple-A.

Our View:

Berroa was released by the Yankees earlier this month, and he doesn't figure to improve much on his .136 average while with the Mets. He should not be considered for fantasy duty under any circumstances.

July 11, 2009

Three days after being released by the Yankees, Angel Berroa has been signed by the Mets to a minor league contract, according to the New York Post's Bart Hubbuch.

Our View:

The Mets "save our season" campaign continues to go confoundingly poor. Even playing at the very hitter friendly new Yankee Stadium in 2009, Berroa was batting just .136, and has not hit above .234 since 2005. He is not an option in any format, regardless of whether or not he gets called up.

July 8, 2009

MLB.com is reporting that the Yankees have released infielder Angel Berroa. Berroa hit a measly .136 in 21 games with the Yanks this season.

Our View:

Berroa was the 2003 Al Rookie of the Year, but he hasn't done much since then. He couldn't keep the job as a backup infielder on the team, and the Yankees have decided to cut ties. Obviously, he has no fantasy relevance.

June 24, 2009

Angel Berroa has been designated for assignment by the Yankees, according to the Associated Press. Cody Ransom was activated from the 60-day DL as the corresponding move.

Our View:

Berroa failed to save his job as a backup infielder with New York, as he held a dismal .136 average over 22 at-bats. He won't be missed in fantasy leagues.

April 4, 2009

Newsday reports that Angel Berroa has lost the backup infielder spot to rookie Ramiro Pena. Berroa has accepted an assignment to the Yankees minor league camp.

Our View:

Berroa hit .371 in 62 spring at-bats, but apparently it was not enough to beat out a player who's never played above Double-A. Pena, his competition, hit .277 in 65 at-bats this spring, while striking out nearly three times as much. Don't be surprised to see Berroa up at some point this season, but for now he will likely start out in Triple-A.

March 31, 2009

Angel Berroa is battling prospect Ramiro Pena for a utility role with the Yankees, according to the Star-Ledger.

Our View:

Berroa only hit .230 over 226 at-bats last season, and does not offer any speed or power. He should be left for deeper AL-only leagues if he beats out Pena.

March 16, 2009

Angel Berroa started at second base for the Yankees in Monday's 12-0 win over the Phillies. He finished the game 1-for-3 with a double and he is now hitting .429 this spring.

Our View:

With Robinson Cano battling bursitis in his shoulder, Berroa could see some action as the starting second baseman early in the season. he is 15-for-35 this spring, with five doubles, and eight RBI. Traditionally, he has struggled against major league pitching.

January 7, 2009

Angel Berroa has signed a minor league deal with the Yankees, according to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports.

Our View:

The 30-year-old vet is expected to battle Cody Ransom for the utility infielder role. His fantasy value looks to be limited.
