[edit] Professional baseball career
Atchison was originally drafted by the Seattle Mariners in the 36th round of the 1994 amateur draft, but chose to attend college. He was drafted again by the Mariners in the 49th round of the 1998 amateur draft, and signed with the team in May 1999. He spent five years playing for minor league affiliates of the Mariners and made his debut in the Majors on July 31, 2004. He spent the 2004 and 2005 seasons splitting his time between the Mariners and the Mariners' minor league affiliates, appearing in 31 games over two years. In 2006, he played the entire season in the minors.
In 2007, he signed with the San Francisco Giants and appeared in 22 games. At the end of the season, he refused an assignment from the Giants to the Fresno Grizzlies, and became a free agent.[1]. He signed a minor league contract with the Boston Red Sox to come to Spring Training as a non-roster invitee[2], but one week later signed with the Hanshin Tigers in Japan.[3] On January 4, 2008, it was announced that the Red Sox had sold Atchinson's contract to the Hanshin Tigers.[4]
