Alex Presley - Mil Deal

[Yardball85]

Not a terrible depth signing.  I wonder if he's the left handed hitting outfielder they've been talking up a storm about all offseason.

Poor fielding outfield who has a career .700 OPS against Right Handed pitching.  Hopefully not the guy they were talking about but probably is.

Ok hitter, contact guy, not a ton of pop. Seems to be a below average defender.

Oh yeah, I definitely hope this isn't their big offensive signing.  I guess if anything, it would signal that RF is Hays' to lose.

Very Oriole-y signing.  I tweeted at Rich Dubroff as to whether he thinks this is theLHH outfielder they've been talking about adding.  To me, he's fine as depth but not a guy to count on.

Let's just hope he's Norfolk roster filler.

Found this article which talks about the two lefty hitting OFers the Orioles have acquired.

Hays has to be doing cartwheels right now.  

If they sign a legit OF he starts at AAA.

I think Brugman is probably better than this guy.

I still hope we see Gonzalez on a one year deal to give Hayes some time to develop and force his way on the team. Presley, I hope, is pretty far down the depth chart.

Should have signed Dustin Ackley instead much more upside.

Minor league deal with spring training invite.  So no, he's not the lefty OF they've been talking about.

He'll start in Norfolk, get called up when an OF is injured, and be DFAd when the other guy returns.

Hopefully that is an error by Roch.  As Presley had a .558 OPS in 2016.
