Wecome Back Angel Pagan
The Mets have re-acquired former minor league prospect Angel Pagan from the Cubs in exchange for minor leaguers Corey Coles and Ryan Meyers. Neither Coles nor Meyers was highly touted by the organization.
You may remember Pagan was a young star for the inaugural 2001 Brooklyn Cyclones who were named co-champions of the NY-Penn league after the championship series was cut short following the September 11th terrorist attacks.
Pagan was sold by the Mets to the Cubs in January 2006. Pagan hit .255 in 148 games with the Cubs between 2006 and 2007.
This is an interesting acquisition for the Mets, Pagan is another young speedy outfielder, who could conceivably take the spot of Carlos Gomez or Endy Chavez on the roster if one of them is traded in a deal for a pitcher.

i hope they send gomez, pelfry and gomez for santana. or throw in heilman since he will do nothing this yr..
Hmmm, I wonder what pitcher Gomez might be dealt for...
Gammons said he thought the Mets were stockpiling talent in preparation for a Santana deal. Looks like he could be right.
