Machado has a good bat and is a great fielder with plus speed. Its hard to predict where he would fit in a lineup because he's a possible four tool player. Personally i like him as a 5 hitter because he probably wont hit 30-40 home runs but will be clutch enough to drive in those crucial runs when it counts however, his speed is being sacrificed. I suppose he could be a leadoff hitter somewhere along the lines of what the Rays are currently trying to do with Carlos Pena plus the speed element.
