McEffect Report: Presley is the first prospect on the list that has already played some major league games. He had a brief stint with the Pirates last year in September, hitting .261/.292/.304 in 23 at bats. Presley has some decent numbers in the minors, including last year in the minors when he hit .320/.373/.494 with 12 home runs and 85 RBI between double-A Altoona and triple-A Indianapolis. Unfortunately for Presley, he is already 26 years old and will not have the opportunity to get any major league playing time because of the presence of Andrew McCutchen and Jose Tabata. Presley is a good guy to have in the system just for depth and could have some major league impact as a bench player or a fill-in in case of injury. |
