Bernard

A longtime minor league journeyman, Bernard finally made it to the big leagues during the 2022 campaign, getting into 12 contests for the Rockies. The 33-year-old outfielder spent last year at the Triple-A level between Colorado and Toronto, posting an .817 IPS with 11 homers and 41 stolen bases across 571 plate appearances in 126 games.

A longtime minor league journeyman, Bernard got into 12 contests last year as a 31-year-old rookie. He signed with the Blue Jays on a minor league pact back in January and didn’t end up making it to Toronto. He’s back with Colorado to serve as emergency outfield depth.

The 32-year-old outfielder finally broke through and made his big league debut during the 2022 season -- slashing .286/.286/.310 with zero homers, three RBI and three stolen bases in 42 plate appearances with the Rockies. He makes for a nice depth signing for the Blue Jays on account of his speed and defensive prowess.

Bernard, 32, finally got a chance to play in the majors after a decade in the minors, and went 12-for-42 in 12 games. He can either stay in the Colorado organization, or elect free agency.

Bernard was finally called up to the majors earlier this month after a decade in the minors. The 31-year-old journeyman notched 12 hits in 42 at-bats over 12 games in his first taste of the majors.

After toiling in the minor leagues for 10 seasons, the 31-year-old outfielder earns his first trip to the big leagues. He was having an impressive season at Triple-A Albuquerque, slashing .325/.374/.588 with 17 homers, 74 RBI and 26 stolen bases in 87 games. He’s starting in center field and batting eighth for the Rockies on Friday night.

Bernard has been playing baseball in organizations since 2013, but has yet to make his MLB debut. That could change if he gets a chance to play while with the club. The outfielder isn’t worth a fantasy addition, but it’s an awesome story of perseverance.

Bernard slashed .254/.319/.395 with seven homers and 23 stolen bases across 351 plate appearances at Triple-A Albuquerque last year. The speedy 31-year-old veteran outfielder, who has yet to reach the big leagues, is a quintessential minor-league journeyman, logging seasons with five different organizations since 2013. He’ll serve as organizational outfield depth for the Rockies this season.

Bernard signed with the Cubs in January of 2018, and struggled in his time with Triple-A Iowa with a .574 OPS over 61 games. He was much better in Double-A Tennessee (.295/.362/.371), and the 28-year-old could spend time at both levels again in 2019.

Bernard cleared waivers after being designated for assignment and will remain in the organization. The 25-year-old has batted only .229/.294/.323 in 213 plate appearances this season between Double- and Triple-A.
