They also did so despite his accruing only 109 games in Double-A, with good-not-great .266/.352/.438 rates there. Machado was more than up to the task. He hit eight home runs in 57 games, counting the postseason, and played every inning at the hot corner with plus defense for the Orioles through their division series loss. He'll enter spring training the odds-on-favorite for the everyday third-base role, and despite being only 20 years of age could offer enough pop and perhaps even speed to help a mixed-league team as a corner infielder or AL-only team as a third-base starter, even while he continues adapting to life in the bigs. And in keeper leagues, the sky's the limit for this natural shortstop, who in time could challenge for the top-ranking spot there or third base.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":10.5,"playerRater15DAY":7.9,"positionRank":3}
