Do we know much about this fellow. I will be doing a search for info, but what does anyone else know? Maybe we got a trde similar to the onbe that brought Ozzie Guillen from San Diego for Lamar Hoyt

Its really a stretch to have him in the future Sox forum. Maybe the never will be a Sox forum.

Terrible player, did they think they improved Charlotte too much with Beckham?

I think he was traded to the Cubs. It says on his MiLB.com profile that he's with the Iowa Cubs.

That makes more sense as they are looking for all the depth they can, but this guy just blows.

Although, if the White Sox did trade for him, then he's coming to B'ham.

I believe Machado is another one of those glove only guys. A guy who can field, but not hit? Why is he in the White Sox organization?

He has a .672 career minor league OPS, which is horrible, and the last thing the Sox need is another shortstop right now. Makes no sense.

 

Any source on this at all? First post has no sourcing of any kind, which makes me highly skeptical. Where did you hear this?

 

Gordon who?

He got it from Mlbtraderumors.com. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2009/05/odds...ney-cooper.html

I really think he was traded to the Cubs, not the White Sox. He is listed on the Iowa Cubs roster, but hasn't played a game for them.

Thanks.

 

QUOTE YOUR SOURCES PEOPLE!!!

 

Also, MLBTR isn't usually a source in itself, its a condenser of other people's stuff.

Seems likely. I'm about ready to just close the thread.

sorry for not quoting it came from mlbtraderumors and cited the post gazette with the info

Here is the actual source, BTW.

 

I sent an email to the blog writer, pointing out that the guy is now on the I-Cubs, and that the Sox need another shortstop for AAA like they need a hole in their head, and that he may want to double check his info.

Thank you, sir!

 

Machado translates to 'axe' in portugese, and I would one day expect him to get it - right outta whatever org he's in

This happened last year too. I read that Jim Brower was traded by the Reds to the White Sox, but he had actually been traded to the Cubs.

Same author?

Nope, can't remember who though.

Of course, the writer could be right too. When Gookie Dawkins was let go by Charlotte, he originally turned up on Reno's roster, but was actually with New Orleans. Reno was at home playing New Orleans, so that accounted for the confusion. Could be the same thing here. The Barons need another infielder, and Machado has been with Pittsburgh's AA team.

chisox2334 is a very credible source. (he's called two trades on this board before it was even announced if I remember) He is one of the few great ones we have. Just for the record/future of other posters before they flip out entirely.

I'm not doubting anybody here. It would actually make sense for Machado to join the Barons. The Barons haven't filled the open roster spot yet, so it is likely.

it was my fault for not posting exactly where I got it from. I am sorry for not doing that. I usually am on top of having everything thing posted from where I get it.
