Outfielder James Harris spent the first six weeks of the season on the disabled list, but he returned to action last week for High-A Stockton. There’s good news and bad news in that statement — good that he’s back, but unfortunate that he’s still stuck at the same level as last year with the Ports.
Harris was drafted by the Rays back in 2011, in the first round out of Oakland Tech high school, and by 2015 he’d found his way to the organization of his hometown A’s. He quietly hit well in Single-A Beloit, but it was his performance in Stockton last year (120 wRC+) that put him firmly on the edge of our prospect radar.
