Sign pagan everyday LF
tylerall5
I wouldn’t play him in an everyday role, too old. Wouldn’t be a bad platoon/bench piece option though.

Pagan is kind of trash, but he’d help a lot in left. He doesn’t have the ceiling that Upton has, but he’d be a steady on base guy to hit in front of the big guys and would bump smoak to the bench which is always a plus

Doesn’t have the ceiling ? Bro you should be looking at uptons floor. Dude is below league average for the last 4 years. He isn’t nearly as good as pagan.
jdgoat
Exactly, but at his best he’s the superior player. Even if he played like he did in San Diego, he’d be better than pagan
hoags2727
Your thinking of Justin upton
hoags2727
Also upton holds a career .243 ba. That horrible. Lol
jdgoat
No uptons 2015 season was good
Skin Blues
Upton had 1.5 WAR in 2015, Pagan had 2.1 WAR last year. Upton’s ceiling is barely replacement level, and his floor is probably lower than any starting OF in baseball. Dude is terrible. Best case for him being useful is as the weak side of a platoon with somebody like Pagan starting vs RHP.

So true. I don’t Think they have found the bottom on Upton yet

Pagan doesn’t get rave reviews in CF
Polish Hammer
But can play LF much better.
SupremeZeus
If everything goes right he is a one win player at best. I see him continuing to decline in the field this season and see more injuries popping up. Somebody will sign him, but not for the $5M he wants.

I can guarantee that Justin Smoak will not be able to handle 1st base full-time. He can barely handle it part-time, As for Pagan, I’m not sure how much of an upgrade he would be for the Jays at this point of his career.
TheBoatmen
He can handle the base, he just can’t handle the bat.
The baseball kid
I say dump smoak, go with the Upton, Carerra platoon and evaluate Pompey when he is healthy or 5th outfielder. Don’t waste your money. Upton sucks but maybe he will have a better season.
The baseball kid
Even if you only keep Upton for the bases… the problem is he has to get on them first.

As a Giants fan I can say this is by leaps and bounds the most attention Pagan has gotten ever. Every day I see an article on him somewhere.
