A new face back in his original place. Angel Pagan was was drafted by the Mets in the 4th round the 1999 Amateur Draft at the age of 18. He was then purchased by the Cubs from the Mets organization in 2006 and now is back with the Mets here in 2008.
Pagan grew up in Puerto Rico and graduated from Republica de Columbia High School in 1999. After he was drafted, he attended he attended Interriver Community College in Ft. Pierce, Florida.
Last season, for the Cubs, Pagan appeared in 71 games and had 148 at-bats. He hit a respectable .264 as a switch hitter, hitting four homeruns and driving in 21 runs. However, his batting isn't what he is known best for. Pagan is an impressive fielder, racking up a blistering .964 fielding percentage in his career.
Pagan will compete for a reserve role with the team this year, but will most likely get about 157 at-bats with the club.
