HBT: Giants 'the team to beat,' Pagan says

After spending the first six years of his career with the Cubs and the Mets, sure, Angel Pagan is entitled to a little optimism. But I tend to think that this is too much optimism. From John Shea?s story about him in the San Francisco Chronicle:

Angel Pagan prides himself as?the Giants? new leadoff hitter. The No. 1 man. So allow him to be the first to make a bold statement about the 2012 Giants in the National League West:

?I?m very, very confident that this is the team to beat,? Pagan said.

They only finished eight games behind the Diamondbacks and four back of the wild card-winning Cardinals. And the Diamondbacks had so many things go right last year, so it?s totally possible that the teams are closer. And thus, no, it would not be shocking if the Giants? pitching made them contenders all year.

But ?the team to beat?? ?Man, I dunno. I?m having trouble going that far with it.
