Alex Presley went 3-for-4 with a homer, a double and three runs scored in the Pirates' 17-6 rout of the Twins on Thursday. Jose Tabata opened the spring as the Pirates' leadoff hitter, with Presley batting second, but those two have switched roles recently. It shouldn't make a whole lot of difference for either the Pirates offense or for fantasy leaguers, as both are expected to be full-timers regardless. Presley is having a terrific spring so far, having hit .429 with two homers in 28 at-bats.
