Garrett Atkins

Don't know if anyone else noticed, but Atkins was back in the lineup tonight. Hitting seventh in the order, and hit twice out of three at bats.

Does anyone see Atkins as a decent platoon player at Coors, or possibly even (gasp!) a starter?

Sure, why not? Not much sock, zero speed, but he'll be a plus BA guy. Good source of RBI hitting #7, or of R's if Barmes cools off and Hurdle flips their spots.

But you need to be sure to have at least one other CI eligible player to start when the Rockheads are on the road.
