| Alen Hanson having rough start in 2013 |
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com
(5/6/13) Following his breakout season at low Class A West Virginia in 2012, Pirates infield prospect Alen Hanson isn't having the same success to begin his 2013 campaign for Class A Bradenton. Hanson is hitting a disappointing .248 with no home runs through 27 games.
Hanson has managed two triples, five doubles, seven stolen bases, 13 RBI and 14 runs for Bradenton.
Hanson hit .309 with 13 triples, 16 home runs, 33 doubles and 62 RBI in 124 games last season. Because of his breakout year, Hanson came into 2013 considered a top 100 prospect by MLB.com (No. 54) and Baseball America (No. 61).

| Hanson has 'begun to perform' |
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com
(2/6/13) After pitching prospects Gerrit Cole and Jameson Taillon, MLB.com considers infielder Alen Hanson and outfielder Gregory Polanco as the Pirates' third- and fourth-best prospects, respectively. "We've always liked them, and they've begun to perform," Pirates assistant general manager Kyle Stark said of Hanson and Polanco. "The rankings reflect the hard work both have put into their developments and give them more motivation to keep improving."

| Alen Hanson's first two years of professional ball came and went with little fanfare. He did an adequate job getting on base and using his speed once he got there, but when compared to other shortstop prospects, his contributions went by the wayside. That all changed for him as a 19-year-old playing his first full season at Class A last year, when he did the one thing that immediately vaults a middle infielder to top-prospect standing: He hit for power. With 16 home runs, 33 doubles and 13 triples, he was sort of the Pirates' minor-league equivalent of Andrew McCutchen, only at shortstop. And he has more in common with McCutchen than just the pop. He hits for average, he gets on base, he runs. His speed is actually considered his greatest asset. Now that he has a bat to go along with it, he's on track to become an impact player in Fantasy. His shaky arm strength could force him to second base before he gets his shot in 2014 or 2015, but at either position, Hanson is a must-have in long-term keeper leagues. (Updated 1/4/13) |
