Garrett Atkins, the Rockies 29 year old 3rd baseman had a down season in 2009 and lost a lot of playing time to Ian Stewart who figures to be the starter for the Rox in 2010. Theres been rumors the team may try to trade him but I've also heard he may be non tendered or released. In 2009, Atknins hit .226 with 9 homers 48 RBI in 354 at bats. He posted an obp of .308 and and ops of just .650. His carreer averages are .289 21 homers 100 RBI .354 OBP and .811 OPS. If he does end up as a free agent, I'm intrigued by the idea of the Stros picking him up for around $5MM. I'm basing this on a presumption that 2009 was down year and he'll bounce back in 2010. Although, he could turn into a Morgan Ensberg case. What say the masses?
