I just think the odds are against a complete rebound for Atkins. My prediction for his 2010 season right now is .270/.335/.445, 16 HR, 65 RBI over a full season. I just haven’t been an Atkins fan over the years. But for the contract we signed him at, hes fine. I’m still hoping we sign Adrian Beltre and move Atkins to first base until Snyder is ready. (June?)

At worse, we get similar production as Mora last year, or perhaps Wigginton takes over later in the year. At best, Atkins becomes a well above average hitter. AM got a replacement that has the upside that Mora and other potential targets like Crede do not have.

Risk/Reward is very good in this signing…the kind of moves a team like the O’s has to make when competiting with the astronomical payrolls of NY and BOS.
