Monte Harrison is waiting his turn. As the Miami Marlins top minor league prospect plays in the Arizona Fall League, the biggest question facing the outfielder is where will he play next season. Has he done enough at the Double-A level with the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp to warrant a move to New Orleans and the organization’s Triple-A affiliate next spring?
The 23-year-old has the makings of a five-tool player. But his power game isn’t the only thing the front office is looking at in determining where he will wind up in February. Harrison, who was part of the deal that sent Christian Yelich to Milwaukee in the offseason, struck out 215 times this past season.
