He may not be a power hitter, but Dixon Machado has showed off an impressive eye at the plate this month.
No one doubted Dixon Machado's defensive abilities during his ascent through the Detroit Tigers' farm system. Blessed with an arm and glove that some have rated as high as 70 on the 20-80 scouting scale, Machado's defense has been major league ready for years. We haven't seen a Jose Iglesias-level highlight reel play from Machado yet, but that could change any time the ball is hit in his direction. The two shortstops are 1a and 1b when it comes to defensive ability in this system.
