Dodgers Let Berroa Walk

The Los Angeles Dodgers have decided to pay short-stop Angel Berroa's $500,000 buyout instead of agreeing to his $5.5M option for next year. Berroa was acquired June 6th from the Kansas City Royals, and was the 2003 American-League Rookie of the Year. The Dodgers also have to make a decision on their other short-stop, Rafael Furcal.

Angel will definitely get a minor-league deal, but he could help some clubs out with his ability to play all 3 infield spots. He hit .230 with 16 RBI in 84 games for the club, but provided some very solid defense.
