How old is Harris? Will he need a lot of seasoning in the city leagues?

Seth Maybin (3/4/2/3/1 vs. 5/6/4/5/5 talents, 4 range at SS) ended up going 11th overall (3rd pick in the second round) to Elliott Springs. After the first three picks, the players were all pretty much equal. I think Mekeli Masters (4th to Deepvale) was the class of the remaining players, but Maybin's not too far back. Shortstop is a weak position in the Bay League, so I expected him to go higher too, as you can see in my draft "preview".
Chezley Harris (2/6/5 vs. 4/8/7 talents) is 18 years old and will start at what in OOTP 6.12 is AA. I call it the midlevel city league, but that's just semantics, of course. I think he's going to turn out pretty good, honestly. He's got good endurance (8) and he's a good fielder. He projects out as a solid 3rd starter (most Bay League teams only start 3 pitchers due to lots of off-days in the drawn-out 70 game schedule) and probably has a couple of seasons in the city leagues before he hits the big time.
