Berg will undergo Tommy John surgery Friday, Carrie Muskat of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Berg posted a 3.75 ERA in the majors but also had a 1.0 K:BB and a 5.10 FIP. He struggled in Triple-A, posting a 5.16 ERA and a 6.03 FIP. Tommy John surgery will likely sideline him for all of 2012, and by 2013 he'll already be 29. His professional baseball career is likely in jeopardy.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2011
2010
Berg kept the ball on the ground last year, but that's about the only good thing one can say about his performance. He walked 20 batters in 40 innings, and struck out just 14. He was a little more effective at Triple-A, but you can chalk that up to a .249 BABIP there. He'll compete for a middle relief role, but has almost no upside of which to speak.
Berg got the job done in middle relief for Triple-A Iowa despite an unsightly K:BB ratio by keeping the ball on the ground. He allowed just two homers in 55.2 IP, but also benefited from some BABIP luck (.242). He'll vie for a relief role this spring, but even if he makes the team his ceiling is limited.
