MetsMerized Player Of The Week! (Week 15)

Alright, 2-9 is definitely not the way the Mets wanted to finish that road trip and it was a tough watch for any Mets fan. I know times are getting hard and people are calling for blood to flow like the mighty river Nile. A friend of mine claimed that Carlos Beltran brought a curse with his return. However, I claim that it is the Castillo curse! We haven’t made the playoffs since his arrival! (Nobody take that statement seriously.)

My choice for MetsMerized Player Of The Week is…Angel Pagan!

Our resident Angel in the outfield, Mr. Pagan is the man. Filling in a great 4th OF and posting nice numbers overall as a starter, Angel Pagan has developed into quite a decent player. He’s no All-Star but he is a serviceable MLB ready starter. I don’t think he’s untouchable in a trade like some fans do, but I do like what he has brought the team this year.

On this rough week for the Mets offensively, Pagan was one bright spot. He managed a .296 AVG ( 8-27 ; 1 2B, 2 HR) and posted a .296/.345/.556 line overall. He scored 3 runs and drove in 3 of his own. His 15 TB and 2 SB lead the Mets on the week.

There’s no place like home for Angel Pagan, who returned to NY in a trade from the Cubs and has found success here. We can only hope that he continues to mature into a better player as time goes along to complement the play of Jason Bay and Carlos Beltran. Congratulations to Angel Pagan!
