He's now my second fave Oriole
after Nicky, just because of this.

It's about damn time.
I thought he might skate by through another transaction – probably could have seen Albers or Mata sent down. I wonder if Atkins hastened his exit with his comments that showed up on Britt Ghiroli’s Twitter within the last couple of days? Not that it really matters for him – since we’re still paying him $4.5 million to fail his way out of MLB this season regardless.

sadly, koji sucks too. but at least the beav is gone

when Koji is on the roster he doesn't suck
he’s just barely ever on the roster. Atkins sucks always. I’ll take it.
Isn't it almost impossible to believe that none of the perfect games this season have been thrown against us? -O'sFan21
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Fire Garret Atkins.
The worst part is we still have to pay him...
We could have used the money to sign Miguel Sano or other int. prospects.

this has been discussed before
he have no reason to believe that player salary budget and scouting/signing budgets are connected. they might be. they also might not be.

at the very least
that money could be earning some interest while it waits to be spent on someone that will make a difference.

Must be tough
Adkins seemed like a decent guy. It must be very hard to come to a new team, wish to perform well, but be very, very bad. At least Gonzo has been away from the team on rehab assignments for most of the time. Adkins was reminded every day how far his skills have fallen. If he can’t stick with the Os, who are desparate for a 1bman, his career is over. How long will it be before Koji is on the DL again. My bet is 3 weeks.
Anyone that wants to be rlsd from a bad team
And is as bad as he is, doesn’t seem like that great of a guy to me

if you paid me $4.5 million,
and a total of $15 million over the past three years, I would find a way to handle it.
I’m not saying that money buys happiness. It must be disappointing to feel like a failure no matter where you are or how much money you have.
I’m just saying that Garret Atkins’ version of “tough” is very different from my version of “tough”.

I wouldn't say his career is over
He’s not going to get another guaranteed deal, that’s for sure. But someone will sign him to a minor league deal in a few days and he’ll be working on his comeback in AAA somewhere.

Go out and seize those opportunities, Garret.
With your track record and bat speed, I have no doubt that you have a bright future in the Slow Pitch Men’s Softball League in Big Loin, Texas.
