I wasn’t very high on Preston Palmeiro after the Baltimore Orioles used a seventh-round draft pick on the former North Carolina State star back in 2016. It seemed like a great move for the organization, bringing in a prospect with a familiar last name to provide a little more intrigue to whichever minor league affiliate he played for, but didn’t add a lot of excitement as far as future value prospect hype. As we prepare for the 2019 season, I’m a little higher on the second base prospect.
More than two seasons later, are things looking up for the second base prospect?
