Mets Sacrifice Two For Pagan, Angel
The New York Mets traded two minor leaguers to the Cubs for 26 year-old outfielder Angel Pagan.
Pagan, a former fourth round pick, had a .745 OPS for the Cubs last season with 4 HR and 21 RBI in 148 AB.
The Cubs received outfielder Corey Coles, 25, who hit .296 at Double A - Binghamton last season and Ryan Myers a 22 year-old reliever. Myers had 13 saves and a 2.14 ERA in 33 appearances at A Savannah. He struck out 48 in 42 innings.
This trade is not particularly significant, but the opportunity for that kind of word-play was just too tantalizing to pass up.

I think Pagan has a load of talent, just waiting to be tapped.
I was very sad to see this, and was hoping he would compete with Pie for center field.
Sam Fuld, does not impress me that much I guess. We shall see.
