Machado is an interesting player. He has a superior glove, good range and speed. He can play in the INF or OF. Most any position. He spent time in the Boston organization and knows how to draw a walk, though his bat is light. Could be a solid reserve.

148 AB, 19 BB, 14 SO, 7 SB, .422 OBP, .446 SLG, 324 AVG, .868 OPS

That’s in Ft Myers, high Class A. He’s been pretty consistent.

Myers 2B Brian Dinkelman. I've only seen a little film of him, and read scouting reports, but he looks like a major league player, to me. He has a little speed, and a little power, and seems to know what to do with a bat in his hands. Seth seems to also like him, and said he can also play 3B. I would love to hear what TK says about that young man. Maybe, I am way off base. The guy in the minors I have been watching is Ft. Myers 2B Brian Dinkelman.

Add no range, a shaky glove, and slow on the bases, and that's some overpriced production. The 3B currently hitting, .250 OBP, .277 SLG, .225 AVG, isn’t helping too much.
