News and Notes

Jun 30
Atkins has taken the wheel at third base, the Denver Post reports. Recommendation: This is mostly a move to showcase him as a trade chip. Even if the Rockies are contending at the trade deadline, they may still opt to move Atkins, but the newly found playing time should help him level out his horrific numbers on the season. |
