Roberts.
Is pushing for President Obama to pass a law requiring all citizens to be Chicago White Sox fans and make October 1st "White Sox Day" where we all dress as our favorite player. It maybe socialist, but I don't care.

That's a really interesting scenario, but the guys are right. Atkins appears to be a one season wonder. Compare his last 3 season, and the steep decline at such a young age is very disturbing. How does a hitters walks decrease and K's increase by so much in one season? That is very rare. Atkins goes to soon in drafts, it's best to avoid him all together. Even at 3rd I'd rather have a guy like Huff personally.

8 innings in his entire pro career and he qualifies at 2B? Your league needs different rules.

But to answer the question, Roberts easily.
