[BA] 2005 Top 5 Prospect: Brendan Harris
5. BRENDAN HARRIS, inf Age: 24 B-T: R-R Ht: 6-1 Wt: 200
Drafted: William & Mary, 2001 (5th round) Signed by: Billy Swoope (Cubs)
Background:
Acquired along with Francis Beltran from the Cubs in the Orlando Cabrera/
Nomar Garciaparra four-team trade in July, Harris appeared to be the
franchise旧 third baseman of the future. That changed when the Nationals
signed Vinny Castilla to a two-year contract.
Strengths:
Harris is a consistent line-drive hitter with good power to the gaps.
Former GM Omar Minaya envisioned Harris as a 20-homer, 80-RBI threat. He
has a plus infield arm and displays good athleticism at both second and
third. He also has played some shortstop.
Weaknesses:
Harris tends to start his hands a little late in his swing, cutting his
reaction time. He旧 somewhat of a tweener because his bat fits better at
second base隝here he旧 blocked by Jose Vidro铞ut he旧 a better defender at
third.
The Future:
Harris will vie for a big league utility job this spring but might end up
back in Triple-A to get more at-bats. He profiles best as a No. 2 hitter,
and perhaps as a No. 5 hitter if his power develops.
