Pagan confident in 'big year': The San Francisco Chronicle reports new Giants CF Angel Pagan is not only excited to provide a presence in the outfield, but he wants to be a catalyst atop the lineup. "When I was with the Mets, I saw this team was in desperate need of a speedster at the top of the lineup that'll get on base for the RBI guys, and that'll be me. I'm ready. I'm healthy," said Pagan, who missed the end of the 2011 season with a head injury. "I know they're counting on me at the top of the lineup. I have confidence I'll have a big year."

Fantasy Analysis
The Giants also acquired Melky Cabrera in the offseason and manager Bruce Bochy said he will look at different lineups throughout the spring, but the consensus is that Pagan will likely bat leadoff. It's not a bad deal seeing how Pagan is a career .301 hitter batting first. He also has a career-high 30 stolen bases in 154 games as the leadoff hitter. Pagan took a bit of a step back in 2011 after a breakout 2010. But he is worth a late-round Fantasy flier and could be a bounce-back candidate in 2012. (Updated 02/07/2012).
Angel Pagan, acquired from the Mets in exchange for OF Andres Torres and RP Ramon Ramirez, is part of the Giants' outfield makeover. As a starting center fielder in 2011, Pagan failed to match his surprisingly robust statistical line from the 2010 season, but even with missing more than a month with a strained oblique, he still posted his second straight season with 30-plus steals. Given that Pagan didn't seem to lose any speed, it's difficult to explain why his batting average on balls in play fell 44 points, robbing him of points on his overall batting average and of run-scoring opportunities. Both of those should return in 2012, making Pagan a potential bargain in standard mixed leagues. As a strong comeback candidate, Pagan is worth targeting in those formats with a late-round pick.
