I will say, I highly doubt Allen becomes an above average starting 1B offensively. His highest batting average was .290 (in AA this year) until his aberration in the PCL. It seems highly unlikely he will hit for a good average, which is going to put a lot of pressure on his walk rate and power. He may have 30 HR power, but his walk rate is good, not spectacular so if he is going to hit .260-.270 it's going to be very hard to put up a .850ish OPS. Paul Konerko with less batting average maybe.
I have to agree with this. Hell I didn't even have Allen in my top 5 in the overall 10 spects list for futuresox (and this was when Beckham, Poreda, Richard graduated I believe he was #7) I hated the Allen deal, and I love Allen, but you are overating him waaaaay too much KHP.
