The Colorado Rockies sign Justin Berg
The Rockies have signed 28-year old righty reliever Justin Berg to a minor league deal. Berg pitched in 16 games (2 starts) in Rookie+A-ball last year for the Cubs and he was 0-3 with a 6.68 ERA and a 2.03 WHIP. He last pitched in the majors back in 2011 with the Cubs. Berg has pitched in 60 games (0 starts) in his first three years in the majors and he is 0-1 with a 4.08 ERA and a 1.45 WHIP. If he’s healthy, Berg will get a shot to win a job in the Rockies’ bullpen next spring.
