its funny that you mention Torii Hunter because when you look at the numbers, Pagan actually looks like he could project into somebody like that (Hunter has had an .800+ OPS twice, once when he was 27 and once after in the bigs). In fact, his minor league numbers: G AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI SB CS BB SO HBP IBB SH SF DP Avg Obp Slg Ops Minor League Totals: 5 years 509 2048 321 569 84 33 15 188 163 60 175 399 4 5 29 13 25 .278 .334 .373 707 are bcomparable to Hunter's Minor League Totals: 7 years 526 1922 300 520 105 10 53 264 52 23 147 384 3 0 1 3 4 .271 --- .418 --- Hunter has better power, but Pagan still looks like he could turn into that type of player.
