Not a bad move. Stew has a hot bat right now and Atkins has been struggling a bit.

He does. Stew has hit 11 homeruns and he is raising his average a bit.

Then I guess the A's will just have to go with Hanrahan and Crosby.

Re: Atkins to be benched

not like Atkins is doing much better. I was thinking they could just stick a scarecrow out there.

Well we basically have 1 starter at the moment that is pitching great and the is Jason Marquis. Hopefully Jeff Francis can come back next season and we would have a great 1-2 punch.

I'm sorry but tell me I didn't just read Marquis and 1-2 punch in the same sentence...
