Presley signed a one-year, $1 million contract with the Astros on Tuesday, avoiding arbitration, Evan Drellich of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Analysis:

Presley missed close to two months with an oblique injury last season and finished with just a .244/.281/.346 batting line in 89 games (271 PA), but he has some pop (6 homers) and can play all three outfield positions, giving him value as a bench option. That said, Jake Marisnick or Robbie Grossman will likely open the year as the Astros' top reserve outfielder.
