Bergeron Invited to Phils Camp
1/12/06 - Peter Bergeron, who played in parts of
five seasons with the Montreal Expos, has been
invited to spring training with the Philadelphia
Phillies as a non-roster invitee.
Bergeron was originally drafted by the Los
Angeles Dodgers in 1996 but was traded to the
Expos in 1988. He made his major league debut
with Montreal the following year.
In 308 games with the Expos, Bergeron hit .226
with eight home runs and 56 RBI. In June, 2004,
Montreal dealt him to the Milwaukee organization
and he was granted free agency at the end of the
season. Bergeron later signed with the Cubs but
spent most of the 2005 with Baltimore's Double-A
affiliate in Bowie, where he hit .296 with five
homers and 33 RBI in 91 games.
