Mind you, if---as you say---he keeps it up and can do it again next year, sure, he could help us. He'll have to prove it to me, but he's now on the radar, and that in itself was quite an accomplishment given where he started this season.WilliamJPellashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12774466220683142262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6207200414495313452.post-84290241421161113042010-09-10T17:04:12.805-04:002010-09-10T17:04:12.805-04:00Wil, the biggest difs I see is that Nate was much ...Wil, the biggest difs I see is that Nate was much more consistent as a hitter in the minors than Presley, and I think a little faster. But they share the same scouting line; a little guy who's a tweener with a good glove, wheels, and work ethic.<br /><br />My premise is that Presley could be on the same career track IF he repeats his success again, which is certainly not a given.<br /><br />And remember, McLouth had back-to-back good seasons, but he's still a lifetime .252 hitter after six years; the only year he hit over .258 was 2008. His book is still being written, too.Ron Ieracihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08784507810080514099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6207200414495313452.post-44527843529944043442010-09-10T13:00:13.909-04:002010-09-10T13:00:13.909-04:00If Presley ever has a two year run in which he hit...If Presley ever has a two year run in which he hits 46 home runs and steals 42 bases, then he will be "the second coming of Nate McLouth". Not until then. <br /><br /><br />I don't think Presley is anywhere near as good as Nate was before he got hurt.WilliamJPellashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12774466220683142262noreply@blogger.com
