Sample size and the fact he's already 24. Kuhn was a guy I was excited about going into 2009. But he didn't do anything of relevance. Certainly nothing to deem him a top prospect. He doesn't have a particular tool(s) that jump out at you. If he can keep this up for a full year then MAYBE you have something. And let me emphasize maybe. But it's not going to happen. He's got like 5 career HRs. He's not going to maintain a .500+ slg%.
Having over 25% of a season's ABs isn't sample size bias. Also, I don't understand how being 24 in your second season of AA is bad. Perhaps you can enlighten us.
It looks like Kuhn's success can be tied to him cutting down on strikeouts and putting the ball in play more. Obviously one can argue that part of his success is that he's getting luckier, which would be true, but he's showing a lot of progress at AA. He most likely projects as a utility infielder with a good bat, little pop.
