Mitch Atkins called up from AAA Iowa to the Cubbies

I was hoping when he got called up he would be in the starter role but it looks like he is going to the pen

Glad I gave up Blue Ref 001/150 two days ago after holding for almost 3 years. What's new.

new player collection started ?

lol, he is actually a guy I invested in.... Super cheap like $10 orange ref's, $5 gold ref's. 2 years ago he won the Cubs minor league pitcher of the year and his golds got up to like $40 and I didn't sell because I was waiting on a call-up and it never happened. I have like 8 of the 25 orange, 5 or so golds, tons of blues, and about 250 base chromes =)

Wooowhooo! About dang time!!! :lol:

Hey James, here's to Atkins getting some notice (& not in a bad way)! I too was hoping he'd get called up as a starter but I think he can work his way into an SP role. BTW, I've got:

Red Ref
(4) Gold Ref
Blue Ref
(3) Xfrac
(7) Ref
200+ Base Chrome

Go ATKINS!!!

but the cubs will make Cashner or Jackson a starter before him.

After being called up last time Atkins didn't get to pitch in the majors... He has been called up again!!!

Yeah I saw this lastnight but forgot to make a thread! Here's to him getting some pitching in this go-round (maybe he'll get a start or two in the longrun...never know?).
