by Matthew Cerrone on April 7th, 2008 at 10:57 am

Angel Pagan is the first player in 39 years to score and drive in a run during each of his first four games with a new team.

In 22 plate appearances this season, Pagan is batting .313 with six RBI, four walks and two doubles.

…had he not had such a hot spring, i would be reserved in how i judge pagan…but, he had talent years ago, did well with the Cubs, continued to evolve, hit great in the spring, in which he hustled and played hard, and now it continues through the first week of the season…i’m not saying he’s going to be on the All-Star team, but i’m more confidnent in his ability to play every day than i thought i would ever be

Jose Reyes has reached base just seven times in 24 plate appearances, including just one walk and no stolen bases, while hitting .238.

Meanwhile, Luis Castillo is batting .190 with a .261 OBP.

…if these two do not get on base, the Mets do not score consistently…it’s that sikmple, and we all know it…get it out of your system, boys

Carlos Beltran is 5 for 7 against lefties, but just 2 for 12 against righties.

Carlos Delgado is batting .350, but with one extra base.

Speaking of Delgado, read the New York Post and Newsday.

In 22 plate appearances, Ryan Church is batting .381, while going 2 for 8 with three RBI against left-handed pitching.
