Did anyone else see that Machado had batting practice with the Orioles today?

Melewski chronicled it here. I dunno, I hate to say crap like “losing culture” but something about giving a kid in A ball time with major leaguers rubs me the wrong way. He hasn’t earned anything yet IMO.

If you look at those UZR ratings or whatever

I don't mind the idea

of giving him a taste of what he should be working towards. I think the part that troubles me more is

He spent some time working out last year with the Yankees’ Alex Rodriguez.

All is transient.

Why would that bother you?

Unlike Oriole coaches and players, ARod has proven he knows how to prepare himself to play good baseball.

he's been on fire...

not literally, of course, but i think he didn’t get on base at all in his first 5 or 6 games at delmarva and now, i think, he’s had 5 or 6 straight multihit games.

it’ll be interesting to see how quickly he moves through the system. it’d be fun to see him and mummey.
