@MLB: BREAKING: @Orioles plan to call up INF Manny Machado - 3rd overall pick in 2010 Draft - from Double-A Bowie before tomorrow's game vs KC.
Wow. Shocking news.
Machado is a top five prospect in baseball.
ETA: Machado's AA numbers this year:
BA .266
HR 10
RBI 58
OPS .781
He's 20

Don't understand this much.
Looks like he'll play 3rd, where he has played a total of 2 games in the minors.
But he will put fans in the seats.

@jonmorosi: Manny Machado has played two games this year – two! – at third base, which is where he’s expected to make his major-league debut. #Orioles
Wtf are the O's doing?
This is seriously their push for the playoffs move after doing nothing at the deadline...

@BenBadler: Hope not. Trout dominated AA last yr, Machado hasn't RT @Eli_DeGrateACE Did the Angels promotion in '11 of Trout inspire the Orioles in '12?

This makes no sense, but he has been hot & cold. Who knows? Maybe he will get hot & this will look like a genius move until he cools down and hits 210/245/502 in September.

Why start the clock and why call him up before September?
Let's not forget that even Trout was not ready in 2011.
I hope Machado does well, but I do not think he will fare too well this season in the AL East.
