Garrett Atkins???

[Members Only Jackets]

What current pro would you compare Garrett Atkins future too? I've heard some people call him "Todd Helton Jr."

,,,but really, who will he be like?

And is Atkins still playing 3rd base when Ian Stewart gets called up next year?

thanks

Garret Atkins will never be Todd Helton, he doesn't have enough power, maybe Jeff Cirillo (of a few years back) or Joe Randa... though at Coors he could hit a little better than Randa with a few more homers. If Stewart makes the team next year then Atkins is either traded (if he had a good year this year), optioned (if he sucked it up), or playing left bench.
