Nobody is giving up on either of them at 3B. It's just silly to say that there is a lot of money wasted if they don't stick at 3B. And it's also silly to complain about too many 3Bman considering the long list of crap that the Twins have had at the position. It would be awesome to have a legitimate prospect blocked by a legitimately good 3Bman. This is absolutely last on my list of issues that the Twins will have in the future.

I'm pretty sure Amaury Minier will be moving from SS to 3rd base and there is a good chance he'll be in Gulf Coast League this year. There's more 3rd Base depth for you.

A good player pushes his way onto a Major League roster. If Harrison has been playing 3B and is killing it with his bat he'll take any opening at RF, 3B, 1B, DH... If Harrison show he simply can't handle 3rd base they'll move him, but it will limit his routes to the majors. So keep him their until he shows he can't handle it. Remember being a below average defender doesn't mean they can't handle 3rd base, being an awful defender does.

And the reports on Harrison's defense are awful. As for Minier, no shot at sticking up-the-middle somewhere?
