Barreto agreed to a minor-league contract with the Nationals on Thursday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
Scouting Report
Very athletic, he displays great speed and burgeoning power in his swing. Has good hands for both hitting and playing in the infield. Can make a major impact on a baseball field. Lacks optimum arm strength for the shortstop position. Must cut down on his number of errors to maximize output in Major League Baseball. Must also become a bit more selective.
Long Range Potential: Talented, speedy shortstop with good upside.
