Detroit Tigers youthful infielder Dixon Machado may have a few arguments to make with that statement.
What the Stats Say
Machado is a 25-year-old who did a very good job filling in for Ian Kinsler while the veteran was out with injured. Through 59 at-bats this year, he is hitting .322.
Not only is he showing the ability to hit, but in a recent game against the Tampa Bay Rays, Machado flashed the leather taking a foul ball out of the first row.
However, in all fairness he has made four errors in 2017.
