The team would like more time to try to trade Atkins to get something in return.

Our View: Atkins is obviously not in the Rockies' plans for next season, but they want to get something in return for him when he goes. There are several teams interested, but they all might wait until his release before going after him.

Rockies | Several options with Atkins Thomas Harding, of MLB.com, reports the Colorado Rockies are expected to either trade, release or non-tender 3B Garrett Atkins. http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Garrett_Atkins/635986 635986 Thu, 12 Nov 2009 13:40:02 EDT kffl.com http://www.fantasysp.com/player/mlb/Garrett_Atkins/635986 Orioles interested in Atkins The Baltimore Sun reports that the Orioles are interested in Rockies third baseman Garrett Atkins.

Our View: The O's likely won't make a move until they find out if Atkins is non-tendered in December, but their interest is legit. Despite having a terrible season (.226/.308/.342) the third baseman is expected to be awarded around $7 million in arbitration and the Rockies likely won't pay it. If Baltimore can wait it out, they won't have to give up any prospects in return for him. Wherever he lands, Atkins will be a dicey fantasy choice in 2010.
