Orioles' Machado practices at shortstop for world classic (Yahoo Sports)

Before he leaves for the World Baseball Classic, Manny Machado is making the most of his short time at Baltimore Orioles camp. Machado, who was born in Miami, will play shortstop for the Dominican Republic in next month's WBC, and with the Orioles' everyday shortstop J.J. Hardy injured, he's getting to play as much short as he wants before his March 5 departure. ''I'm probably going to be playing 162 this year,'' Machado said.
