3B Alex Gordon or Garrett Atkins????

I got a feeling that this is going to be Gordon's breakout year. But with Atkins you pretty know what your going to get. WHIR

I agree completely with your reasoning, Gordon will have a breakout, but a breakout for him is not what was once expected. Instead, look for solid, Ryan Zimmerman type numbers: .280 .350 .450 with 10 steals. It's nice, but not great. Atkins should outproduce those without the need for a breakout.

After a down year for Atkins, I expect a bounceback to his previous levels. Gordon not bad, but too much uncertainty for me. Go with Atkins.

I would go with Atkins as well. He plays in Col which always helps with stats.

However, I agree with Gordon, I think this is finally his year. What that will ultimately mean, I am not sure, but I think his numbers will solid across the board.

Atkins.

I would rather be a year late on a guy like Gordon than a(nother) year too early.

I agree, Atkins is your guy, like you said you know what youre going to get. Much is expected of Gordon which is affecting his performance IMO. Atkins should get back to what we expect of him after last seasons down year. Good luck.
