KG on Alen Hanson
"At some point it's a hot start, and at some point it's talent, and in Hanson's case it's both. Just 19 years old, Hanson was expected to play in the short season leagues this year after a good showing in the Gulf Coast League earned him the No. 17 ranking in the system, but he earned a full-season assignment and hit .410/.441/.695 during the season's first month. Hansen's raw hitting ability is impressive, but he also shows surprising pop for his size, profiling as a future doubles machine, and he's a 60-65 runner as evidenced by his ten stolen bases. He doesn't have the instincts or arm to stay on the left side of the infield, but even as a second baseman, he's a intriguing player with top-of-the-order potential."
