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. --
