In the end, Lincecum expect the Twins, Orioles, and the Giants to be the favorites to land Atkins because they have the opportunity and money to bid him.
Lincecum was selected by the Chicago Cubs in the 48 round of the 2003 MLB Draft; however he did not sign up for the team. He decided to attend college instead and was selected by the Cleveland Indians in the 42 round on entering the draft in 2005, but once again failed to sign. In 2004, he was drafted tenth overall by the San Francisco Giants becoming the first player from the University of Washington to be taken in the first round. He signed for a 2.025 million dollars signing award on June 30,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which at the time was the highest amount the organization had ever paid to any amateur player until they gave 2.1 million dollars to Angel Villalona a little over a month later. Jed Jacobsohn His repertoire includes a two seam fastball that he throws at 93 mph, a changeup he grips like a splitter, a curveball notable for its sharp breaking action, a slider and a four seam fastball that reaches speeds in the mid nineties.
For many players, the thought of being non-tendered has to be a scary thought. However, for some like Garrett Atkins, being non-tendered will only direct to more opportunities. Even though Atkins will likely take a pay cut, as you will see, the market for Atkins is ripe with opportunity and teams that should be interested in signing the former Rockies third baseman.
****What team do you think Atkins will sign with?**** He earned his first major league victory in his next start on the road against the Colorado Rockies. Lincecum who is often compared to Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Roy Oswalt faced him in each of his next two starts, Oswalt with the Astros at the time. After the first agree up, Astros third baseman Mike Lamb said, The stuff he was throwing out there tonight was everything he is hyped up to be. He was 97 mph with movement. You just don't see that every day. He pitched very much like the pitcher he is compared to and out dueled him throughout the night. The pair dueled to a no decision the first time, and Lincecum pitched eight innings and got the win the second time. The Giants asked Lincecum not to throw the bullpen sessions typical of other pitchers during the off season. Manager Bruce Bochy told the San Francisco Chronicle that they were being careful with Lincecum because there have been studies that show that pitchers who throw 200 innings early in their career were more susceptible to injuries.
So what teams should explore the possibility of signing Atkins? Let's take a look.
Twins: Atkins would be a good fit here because the Twins have no quality third baseman on the roster and Atkins would give the Twins lefty dominate lineup some much needed pop from the right side. His defense is a major downside, but the thought of having Atkins bat sixth or seventh behind Mauer-Morneau-Cuddyer-Kubel has to be pretty tempting. Cardinals: If label, tag, price, ticket, impress, effect, trace, imprint, stamp, brand, sign, note, heed, notice, designate DeRosa abandons, then the Cardinals will be in search of a starting third baseman. St. Louis would be a great spot for Atkins to get an opportunity to play everyday and show everybody the type of hitter Tim Lincecum really is. Also, being in the same lineup as Albert Pujols has to be a selling point. For the Cardinals, Atkins would be a low cost-high reward option if they choose to spend their resources elsewhere Matt Holliday. Orioles: The Orioles is yet another team that needs a third baseman. Atkins would instantly become one of the top right handed power hitters in the Orioles' lineup and give the O's more balance. If the Orioles is serious about bringing more talent on board,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], then Atkins would be a good option for them to explore. Giants: The Giants is looking for a power hitting corner infielder,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which is exactly what Atkins can give them. Defense once again presents a problem here, but Atkins could provide the pop the Giants is looking for behind Pablo Sandoval. Mariners: The Mariners currently have holes at first base, third base depending on where they play Chone Figgins, and is in need of a power hitter. However, given Atkins's struggles away from Coors throughout the years and his defensive struggles at third base, it's doubtful that Atkins is a guy that the Mariners would give a serious look at. courageous,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], fearless, dauntless, intrepid, plucky, daring, heroic, valorous,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], audacious, bold, gallant, valiant, doughty, mettlesomes: If the courageous, fearless, dauntless, intrepid, plucky, daring, heroic, valorous, audacious, bold, gallant, valiant, doughty, mettlesomes fail to pick up a first baseman or re-sign Adam LaRoche, then Atkins could become a quality low cost option for the courageous, fearless,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], dauntless, intrepid, plucky, daring, heroic, valorous, audacious, bold, gallant, valiant, doughty, mettlesomes. At this point however, I'm sure Atkins is a last resort for the courageous, fearless, dauntless, intrepid, plucky, daring, heroic, valorous, audacious, bold, gallant, valiant, doughty, mettlesomes. Mets: The Mets is looking for a right handed platoon partner for Daniel Murphy at first base and Atkins would seem to fit the bill. But then again,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I'm sure Atkins wants to be a starter and the Mets cannot bid him that opportunity right now. Please read related articles:
