Roch just reported on his blog that Garrett Atkins got DFA'ed so Koji Uehara could get activated. Why did it take so long for this to happen? Oh I know, because he cost the team a few million. That is the only reason I can think of.

And to think he was once on pace to hit.162 doubles.

Amen Hallelujah! I didn't expect much out of him this season, yet he managed to fall short of my expectations. That said, I understood MacPhail's thinking in signing him, even if I didn't agree with it.
