I'm going to disagree because Pagan has been hitting third in the Mets lineup giving him plenty of RBI oppurtunities. Also looking at your team it looks as if you need SB and the Mets have been known for their extremely aggressive strategy on the bases. (Look at past years where the Mets are always among the team leaders in SB) So I would go with Pagan over Torres.

I currently have both of them in my league (12 team league, all 8 positions + CI, DH, U) and the two of them + Delmon Young have been carrying me. That said, they're practically the same player, but I like Pagan in the Mets lineup better than Torres in the Giants one. Pagan will have a better chance to both score and drive in runs, IMO.

I like Torres, though Pagan has more steals. Torres is hitting more line drives and plays in a better hitting environment in SF. Pagan is a great player, but Torres has better underlying statistics. Expect his batting average to increase a bit. He is on fire right now as well, so that helps. He takes more walks than Pagan does as well, so you are rewarded in OBP by taking Torres.

Hope that helps.
