Fantasy Analysis
Berroa was released from his minor league contract over a year ago while in the Giants system, and he hasn't been in pro baseball since. Fantasy owners may want to keep an eye on his play in the short term to see if he still has the ability to play, though he doesn't warrant any value going forward. Ignore the veteran Berroa in all formats. (Updated 07/24/2011).
