MassBrew: Perhaps a nice risk / reward signing, Dougie. I'd say ditto on that. Pre-injury mid-90s stuff, young (20), and the nickname of "Chunk" definitely makes him a nugget, er chunk, for the "ol' Nugget Miner". Here is a previous BA chat on the Marlins' prospects before last season: www.baseballamerica.com/t...11003.html Q: Will from Indiana asks: What do you know about the Marlins 2nd rounder in 2000 Garrett Berger? I know he touched the mid 90s in high school. A: Jim Callis: Berger blew out his elbow in instructional league in 2001, when he was the Marlins' top pick (second round) and signed for $795,000. He had Tommy John surgery and is working his way back. You have to root for a guy nicknamed "Chunk," don't you?
