Around SBN: Are The Orioles Bad Or Unlucky With Their Young Pitching?

I don't understand how these managers can consider Atkins to be underrated.

That said, there is hope for moving him and returning some sort of value.

Ya know, if i were to respond to this, I would say

“Just by saying that Atkins is underrated makes him entirely overrated. His bat speed has dropped substantially since 2006 and every AB is resulting in a groundout to the left side. He has no glove at 3B, and he’s an absolute detriment to the Rockies.”

if you're reading this, it means my undying support for your team will result in its failure.

That's a very wise, educated, and handsome response

Matt Murton status: Freed
Garrett Atkins status: Not Traded
Clint Hurdle status: Still Employed by the Rockies

I did a double take when I saw this on MLBTR

There are Rockies who could be in the discussion as most underrated player in the NL, but Garrett Atkins is not one of them.
