ANALYSIS: The season is underway and it’s time to start scouring the waiver wire for the goodies owners left on the table on draft day. Enter Exhibit A: Angel Pagan.

Pagan is an excellent multi-category player.... when healthy. Owners were justified to pass on Pagan considering he hadn’t eclipsed 100 games in either of the past two seasons, but now that the season has started he won't cost you anything. Bruce Bochy has decided to slot Pagan third vs RHP, meaning he’s an early beneficiary of batting ahead of Buster Posey. More ABs = more opportunities for fantasy production. The team has stated they will monitor Pagan closely to limit potential injuries, but he’s a solid multi-category producer when in there. If you used a draft pick on an injured star such as Hunter Pence or Jayson Werth, go grab Pagan and ride him till the wheels fall off.
