With a limited budget at 3b who is more productive

Kevin Youkilis
or
Garrett Atkins

Tough question diesel...

Youkilis gets his $ from the OB on his card and his OB comes from the walks. He gives you better D at 3B.

Atkins gives you the hits, with + clutch.

I guess the answer is if you need more OB grab Youk, or if you need + clutch in the lineup take Atkins. Just have a decent sub for both as they can go down for 15 games. Youk has a higher chance of going down...

Right now I have Burroughs and Loretta as backup in fielders
I went with a 3rd option Antonio Perez

also youkilis is slanted towards lefties if you will be facing a lot more righties I would go with atkins
