[h1]Atkins Looking For Fresh Start[/h1]
By Tim Dierkes [June 28 at 12:38pm CST]
Garrett Atkins, recently designated for assignment by the Orioles, is headed home to California to wait out his fate. MLB.com's Brittany Ghiroli spoke to the corner infielder, who would be willing to sign a minor league deal with a new club. Ghiroli notes that interested teams would wait until after he clears waivers. Atkins is not thinking about retirement.
Atkins, 30, signed a one-year, $4.5MM deal with the Orioles on December 22nd after being non-tendered by the Rockies. The signing was considered one of the worst of the offseason in our March executive poll. Having logged 152 plate appearances with a .214/.276/.286 line in 2010, Atkins' stock has only dropped further.
Atkins told Ghiroli that he is ready to move on from the Orioles. However, he told Jeff Zrebiec of the Baltimore Sun that he would consider playing in the minors for another organization. That approach worked for Pat Burrell, who is hitting well for the Giants after a stint in their minor league system.
Yes, he sucked for the Orioles. However, he is cheap (Minor League deal), and we need a corner infielder off the bench (Ronnie Belliard playing 1st base). Plus, it's time to DFA Garrett Anderson since he serves little to no purpose with Reed Johnson being the 4th outfielder and Xavier Paul ready to come up at a moments notice.
