Pagan has been one of the most productive Giants thus far into the season, but I just don’t see an All-Star spot being available for him. He’s up against younger and more marketable competition, not to mention a couple of his own teammates.

They don’t give out team MVP awards for first half performances, but Pagan would certainly be in the running if they did. When baseball was a grind for the team early in May, he remained steadily productive despite being moved from his traditional lead-off role. Pagan has been a leader on the Giants since arriving in 2012, and his confident approach is a big reason why the team didn’t bottom out when the going got tough.

Unfortunately for Pagan, he’s never been an All-Star selection. While there’s little chance of him making a run up the standings this season, his presence on both offense and defense will continue to be invaluable for the Giants.
