Angel Pagan showed up in San Francisco in 2012 and it was the best decision of his career. The outfielder won a World Series that year and was rewarded by getting paid with a four-year, $40 million deal.

Of them all, 2012 was the best year of Pagan’s time in San Francisco. He was with the team from 2012-2016 and he failed to top many of his 2012 marks. He led the league in triples with 15 and added 38 doubles to help reach his career-high mark of 174 hits in his 154 games played. Pagan then added 13 hits in the ’12 postseason, which included two home runs.

While his play did fade with time, Pagan posted a combined 6.5 WAR during the dynasty years of 2012-2014. His potential rise was cut short with injuries in both 2013 and 2014.

Fans should still remember the outfielder for his ability to hit for some power and also steal bases with ease. Pagan had 29 stolen bases in ’12 and even had 16 in an injury-shortened 2014 season.

He never made an All-Star Game and only spent five seasons with the Giants. Yet it is hard to forget a member of two championship teams.
