Western Front

Tres Compañeros

by Geoff Young

It would be easy to call Gregor Blanco, Melky Cabrera, and Angel Pagan the “Three Amigos.” For as much fun as that movie was, I prefer something a little more highbrow and suggest we borrow from Wim Wenders. They are compañeros.

Who saw these guys coming? All arrived in San Francisco at roughly the same time, and all have established an expected level of play that isn't particularly high. Here are their lines entering 2012:

Player	PA	BA	OBP	SLG	OPS+
Blanco	836	.258	.358	.324	85
Cabrera	3,363	.275	.331	.398	93
Pagan	1,994	.279	.331	.418	101
