My Take

What grabs me about Roger Bernadina is the path: a kid from Willemstad, Curaçao, who climbed all the way to Major League Baseball and patrolled the outfield for the Nationals, Phillies, Reds and Dodgers. The nickname "The Shark" tells you how fans saw his game. Curaçao keeps producing big-league talent far out of proportion to its size, and Bernadina is part of that pipeline. He's listed as a free agent here, which to me captures the journeyman reality most pros live, bouncing between clubs while still chasing the next at-bat. I respect the longevity that kind of career demands.

Overview

Rogearvin Argelo "Roger" Bernadina (born June 12, 1984), nicknamed "The Shark," is a Dutch Curaçaoan professional baseball outfielder who is a free agent. He has previously played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Washington Nationals, Philadelphia Phillies, Cincinnati Reds, and Los Angeles Dodgers.
