I'd like to dedicate this post to all the mothers out there, and to the most important mother in most of our lives, Manny Machado. The Oxford Dictionary defines mother, "something that is an extreme or ultimate example of its kind especially in terms of scale." So, one can say that Manny Machado is the mother of all shortstops and 3rd basemen. Yesterday, on Machado's Day, a true mother in the most arcane sense, he went 2-for-4, 6 RBIs with two homers (8, 9). He's gaining shortstop eligibility for next year because Hardy hurt himself and the Orioles realized that necessity is the Machado of invention. So, next year, is there any way he's not in the top three overall for all of fantasy? I guess if he gets hurt. Did I just jinx him? What a Machado f**ker! Whatever the case, there's no way I can pay you back, but the plan is to show you that I understand; you are appreciated. Sweet Manny, don'tcha know, I love ya (Dear Machado). Anyway, here's what else I saw this weekend in fantasy baseball:
