Description: Baltimore third baseman Manny Machado announced his presence with a monster effort Friday night against the Royals. In just his second game in the major leagues, the 20-year-old bashed a pair of homers and finished the evening with four RBI. | Insight: Not bad for a guy who had never played a game above Double-A until Thursday. If he keeps this up, Wilson Betemit (.264, 12 HR, 37 RBI) probably won't be getting many starts at third base the rest of this season. | | |

Description: Baltimore's Manny Machado will start at third base and bat last in his major league debut Thursday night against Kansas City. | Insight: Machado's potential is off the charts but he's never played a game above Double-A ball and even there he was only hitting .266. There'll be a big learning curve for Machado during his first stint in the majors, so don't expect results right away. With that said, he could be worth holding onto if you're playing in a keeper league. | | |

Hardy entrenched at shortstop with the O's. He only has AL-only value at this time. | | |
