Disclaimer: I have nothing invested in either of these players and truth be told, I haven't followed either of their prices too closely. This is an assumption made purely on circumstantial/statistical evidence.
I'm wondering what you guys think about this? I remember, in the last off-season, Trouts prices were at lows (weren't gold refractors was around $400?). Most people knew, or at least they suspected that he would make the major leagues sometime this year, but I highly doubt anybody thought that he would have the impact that he has had so far. On the flip side if you look at a player like Machado, he has had a solid season at AA and was comparable in preseason rankings with Trout. Another thing to consider is the fact that the Orioles are still in contention for a playoff spot (albeit barely). Does anybody foresee the shot of Machado being called up in September or sooner if Baltimore gets on a nice hot streak? JJ Hardy's .224/.266 isn't making a significant impact. If Machado doesn't get called up, his prices are probably going to get even cheaper in the off-season, and are almost a certain buy. I guess my question is, would it be wise to make an investment in Machado, with the hopes of him making it to Baltimore this season, or would it be smarter to wait until the off-season?
