@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?

Not every top prospect comes up and plays as well as Trout and Harper.

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.
