Oriles Agree to Deal with Atkins

The Baltimore Orioles agreed to a one-year deal with 1B/3B Garrett Atkins only days after the Colorado Rockies non-tendered him.

The Orioles will look for Atkins to fill in at first base and third base as needed throughout the season.

Atkins' fantasy star faded fast last season for the Colorado Rockies with Ian Stewart stealing his everyday role at third.

Fantasy managers should not look to Atkins when drafting their corner infield positions until much later in the draft. Though Atkins hit above .285 in three of the last four seasons, his .226 AVG was not usable in 2009. His .200 AVG away from Coors Field last season should sound the alarms as well.
