If Atkins is released and goes through waivers without a claim, can the Rockies sign him to a minor league deal. I know the Rox couldn’t offer Atkins an amount lower than a certain amount at the end of last year, but did that rule void itself once the O’s signed him?

Yeah.
The Rox could’ve nontendered Atkins and offered him the league minimum/signed him to a minor league deal last year. Of course, he wouldn’t have had to take it, but yeah.
He would’ve been a free agent after he’d been nontendered, but the Rox could’ve very easily resigned him at whatever price the two sides agreed to last offseason if they wanted to.

If it means the end of Atkins, yea please.

I’m pretty sure its 2010 and not 2009

Fox is awful at defense, Oakland only played him at a non-DH spot out of necessity, not because he earned it. He might fit as a DH in a hitter-friendly park though.

if he can post an OPS of 800 or higher (his minor league numbers indicate that he can), he would be a huge improvement over Atkins. I would like to see Wigginton at 1B, Scott / Riemold in LF (benching Patterson), and Fox at DH. having 2 guaranteed offensive black holes (Lugo / Izturis) is a lot better than having 4 guaranteed offensive black holes (Lugo / Izturis / Atkins / Patterson)…

get off my guy PL, how awful is he at catcher? and hes decent in left and right and prob average at third and not bad at first. it would be a good fit with baltimore for a great guy in fox

Another ex-Cub for McPhail. Too bad for the Cubs that he doesn’t like the ones with the big contracts.

Exactly . . . why can’t MacFail ever come to his senses with some of these guys

this makes way too much sense not to happen

A super utility guy that was just released and could be a cheap option? i mean just team Wiggington and him together and you don’t have to play the rest of the team.
