Pagan is not exactly that great, but if that means Pie will get more ABs down in Iowa, I'm all for it. Pagan is the #5 OF, I have no problem with him at that position.

 

But he is starting today. And will probably start many more games vs LHP.

How much do you want to bet that Pagan suddenly starts 2 or 3 games a week (when Pie couldn't buy an at-bat)?

 

I'm looking forward to this game for no other reason than the fact that I can hear Len and Bob instead of the idiotic Pirate announcers

 

Pagan probably will start 1-2 games a week-that's about the average amount of times the team should face a left-hander, and Pagan was brought up to play against LHP.

 

That makes no sense...Pagan was terrible vs LHP last season.

 

So is Jones, and so is Pie. It's not a great option, but it will hopefully be a small improvement, and Pagan has been good against LHP so far this year in the minors.

 

The thing that seperates those 3 is that Felix Pie is your best defender. Felix Pie is your CF of the future. Felix Pie should get the chance to be your everyday CF until he proves otherwise.

 

Is there really anything we've seen from him this year to say he deserves the chance? I sure havent seen anything where i am all up in arms that he isnt the regular CF. I know he hasnt had regular time but still i havent been 'wowed' yet to say..you are my starting CF for a playoff contender.

Why not Chris Walker then? He provides better defense than Pagan, is a better base stealer, and hits for higher average

 

I was wondering the same thing. Walker was hardly even mentioned as a possible call-up - what's the story with him? On the surface he looks better than Pagan.

I would rather he start versus lefties in CF than any other options available.

Not on the 40 man roster. Dumping someone like Cedeno or Pagan from the roster is just to out of the box.

Not on the 40-man, just called up to AAA. Why add him to the 40-man, call him up and then make him the fifth OF?

He'll probably do better than Pie or Jones against lefties. Just how many lefties do the Cubs face anyways? About one a week, I'd guess.

Defensively he has been brilliant. As for at the plate, 49 AB's is impossible to get reading on a guy.
