Harris has gone 3-for-12 with one double, three strikeouts and one walk in three games since getting promoted from Double-A Midland to Triple-A Las Vegas.
Known for his strong defense at the hot corner and ability to make contact at a strong clip, Harris slashed .283/.399/.426 with five home runs and a 13.4 percent strikeout rate as one of the older legitimate prospects at Double-A. He turned 25 in June before getting the bump to Triple-A, and it's possible he could hit just enough to be a low-end everyday third baseman for Oakland.

Athletics' Brett Harris: Strong hit tool for Midland
Rotowire
Harris has a .291/.399/.440 slash line with three home runs and four steals in 47 games for Double-A Midland.
He has played 131 games for the RockHounds dating back to last year, so he should get a bump to Triple-A in the coming weeks. Harris turns 25 this month, so he's on the older side for a legitimate prospect at Double-A, but he has a solid hit tool and is a good enough defensive third baseman to potentially profile as the long-term option at the hot corner.
