Ladies and Gentlemen, the siren of the MLB free agency period once again beckons, luring unsuspecting baseball fans into wrecking their ships against the sharp jagged rocks--in this case dreams of big-ticket free agents for even the smallest markets, ill-conceived trade schemes, and long soliloquies about why the owner/GM/beat writer is a complete and utter moron. This column, my dear friends, is the...

The Colorado Rockies will keep Garrett Atkins on their 40-man roster for now, according to Troy Renck of the Denver Post. Not releasing Atkins yet will give the Rockies a few more weeks to attempt to trade him, before the non-tender date of December 12th (coincidentally, Atkins' 30th birthday). Renck mentions that interested teams, such as the Rangers and Orioles, have been reluctant to deal for the...

I made a case for bringing in Garrett Atkins as the platoon partner for Dan Murphy. The biggest problem most people had was that if the Mets traded for Atkins, they would have to give the Rockies something and then pay him around 7MM through arbitration. After the year Atkins had many weren't willing to give him that much money and it appears the Rockies can't find anyone to deal with. If Colorado...

The nostalgic among us will remember Feliz...
