Comments on: Polanco and Hanson Make the South Atlantic League Top 20 http://www.piratesprospects.com/2012/10/polanco-and-hanson-make-the-south-atlantic-league-top-20.html Tue, 21 May 2013 18:05:22 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Kevin Anstrom http://www.piratesprospects.com/2012/10/polanco-and-hanson-make-the-south-atlantic-league-top-20.html#comment-21120 Kevin Anstrom Fri, 05 Oct 2012 02:42:00 +0000 http://www.piratesprospects.com/?p=42754#comment-21120 Gift Ngoepe – when does he join Hanson as the middle infield combo? In AA next year? Or in Pittsburgh in 2014/2015?
I assume Gift will stay at SS and Hanson moves to 2B. Do you agree?
Also the BA writer Bill Ballew mentioned that Bell looked like the best position player in the league.

Instead, I think it suggests that Kingham lacks the upside of some other players in the league, projecting more as a back-end of the rotation guy. His 4.39 ERA this season certainly didn’t help the cause.

I saw him pitch last year in State College and was very impressed. In spite of his early struggles in WV I think he is a definite prospect going forward.

That’s one of the better top 20s I’ve seen.

I guess his rough start was a bad first impression for some in the league.
