Top Five Prospects in The Show (w/Knight Rosters): #3 Manny Machado
 

3. Manny Machado, Shortstop, Baltimore

Another 19-year-old fielding shortstop, Machado has decent contact and speed ratings. Going by his real life projections, Machado will be a middle of the lineup guy who may eventually transition to third.

Currently, he's hitting .266 for the Bowie Baysox.

Machado is a stud on the game. I've made some blockbuster deals to trade for him in a couple of franchises, and he's ready to contribute already on the game.

I just ran up against him as a starter for the 2013 O's (played them with my A's franchise)...

He didn't do much that game, but based on the fact his hot / cold zone grid is "dead red", he must be pretty good...

Cool series, BTW...

Prospects are the key to a quality long term franchise experience...

Manny Machado in my franchise (2014 now). He is currently playing for the mariners. I remember seeing a huge deal between them.

2012 - 200 AB, 41 Hits (.205 AVG), 5 HR
2013 - 572 AB, 153 Hits (.267 AVG), 17 HR, 62 RBI
2014 - 20 AB, 4 hits (.200), 1 HR, 5RBI

I made a huge trade to get him on the Cubs, and I haven't regretted it one bit. I'm in 2013 right now, and Machado is an absolute stud. I actually gave up Starlin Castro to bring him over, and he is WAY outperforming Castro.

He's definitely the most solid Manny in the game.

I traded manny after 2015 not because he was bad, but i got a 3 for 1 deal i instituted to bolster the orioles pitching.. 2 A potential minors and 1 major for jj hardy and machado (jj fell off, and his salary was too much for his performance level) and i drafted a guy just as good.. so a win win.. but he was nice when i did have him
