The Brandon Allen Watch
by Jim McLennan on Jul 30, 2009 4:00 PM EDT

PrintTwo more home-runs and four RBIs for Brandon Allen in tonight's 7-5 victory for the Reno Aces. That gives him a line in his eleven games there of .378/.489/1.000. That is not a misprint: he is slugging one thousand, and owns an OPS of 1.489, having gone 14-for-37, with half of his hits leaving the yard. Meanwhile, on the south side of Chicago, Tony Peña has allowed six earned runs in his first four innings of work, for an early ERA of 13.50.
Of course, there's no way Allen can keep that level of production up, and nor is Peña that bad, but seven homers in 37 at-bats does tend to suggest we might just have got the better of this trade. It's certainly nice to see us make a deal which does not immediately turn round and bite us in the ass. I'll keep monitoring his performance as we go forward, see how our potential 2010 first-baseman is doing.
[Update] Here's an interview with Allen from Gambo and Ash on KTAR earlier in the week. Unfortunately, the audio player doesn't seem to like Fanposts, so it's direct link to the MP3 file. Sorry. :-)

Welcome to the PCL, eh?
But at this rate, it’s getting easier to consider removing that “potential” on “potential 2010 first-baseman.” Also check the 2 SB’s to 0 CS’s. Leadfoot? Nope.

Just remember....
the PCL isn’t a hitter’s league at all. Nope, not at all. It’s not as if they have parks in Colorado Springs, Albuquerque, Reno and other high-desert plains. (Formerly Tucson)

And for another watch:
Dan Haren vs. Tim Lincecum CONTINUED!!!!! (dun dun dunnn)
Starts after the All-Star Break:
Dan Haren: 8 IP, 1 ER / game tomorrow.
Tim Lincecum: 7 IP, 1 ER / 5 IP, 4 ER.
Something tells me that Haren’s got something better than 4 IP, 4 ER in for us tomorrow (maybe just intuition), so I have a feeling the ERA post-ASB will be in his favor tomorrow.

Plus, for as much of a punk as Pierzynski pretty much is, he obviously called a helluva game with Buehrle today. And from what side do you not understand it? Because both sides’ perspectives are fairly clear.

it's
hard not to get excited about this kid. i liked c-pain but if the first couple weeks are any indication, allen could be a cornerstone for years. thanks, kw!
like a tornado hitting a jelly bean factory on Halloween.
He
still owes us from the Quentin trade, and even the CY trade doesn’t look nearly as good as it did a year or two ago.
I think KW and JB have an ongoing bet as to who can better stiff the other, so they have to keep trading every year in an effort to one-up each other.

Now we can deal Upton!
Right? How many 50 homer guys do you need on a team? Dang, lets bring him up now! Maybe he can play short as well and we can deal Drew! I also heard he’s swiped 80 bags in his first 20 games, and that he is a “players manager”! There goes Hinch!
Haha, I kid. But, 11 games? Lets not go so overboard that everyone wants to trade him when he drops down to earth and only has a OPS of .999, eh?
remember how i said
not to put too much stock in his AAA stats with charlotte? Allen has been smoking the ball since the trade, and he’s drawing walks too. This trade could turn out to be a real steal

Also: An update on the farm from tonight (I've run out of things to write on, let me ramble please...)
AAA – Tom Gordon gave up 3 ER in a third of an inning, ruining any chance of Billy Buckner getting a ND for his 7 innings of 3-run work. 3 hits and 2 walks, 1 out. Yuck. If he pitches in the majors again this season, I’ll be shocked, and very disappointed. Gillespie hitless in 2 ABs, with one walk. Oeltjen 2-5 with a double. Ryal 2-4 with two doubles and a walk.
AA – Day off.
Hi-A – Victims of a complete-game, 3-hit shutout by San Francisco Giants prospect Orlando Yntema, now 4-0 with a 2.80 ERA in Hi-A at age 23. I see AA in his near future.

Nobody else will sign Gordon.
He’ll retire after this failure of a season. No compensation.
By the by, Gillespie now has an OPS above .800, despite a BA around .210. Huge walk rate & has had a power surge recently.

Not from arbitration
God knows Gordon is not a type A or B player. I only meant that if Gordon is with the parent club, it will equate to the Dbacks finishing with a worse record (if possible) which in turn equates to a higher draft pick.

Allen next season...
This deal looks awesome thus far… if we were to give him a shot next season, what kind of numbers do you guys think he’ll put up, and what does it hold for Tracy and Whitesell?
He'll take his lumps
Just like Reynolds, Upton, Drew, CY, and pretty much everybody has/did. Tracy’s gone in free agency. Whitesell’s going to be 29 and will either be a backup here or somewhere else. He’s good enough to be in the bigs, but not to start everyday. I could see him platooning as a lefty though.

I have a problem with 30 year old prospects
but the Cardinals seem to make it work, so I wouldn’t write off Whitesell just yet.
Allen is going to be another Mark Reynolds type in 2-3 years. I’m excited.
Go DBacks!
I agree with all of the above
Except that Whitesell will never be a everyday guy, strictly out of the fact that he will only be in the league for four years, tops, due to age and lack of track record.

Let's wait on it.
Two years ago, we thought we fleeced Kenny Williams in the CY trade. We’re fairly certain that Kenny fleeced J.Byrnes last year in the Quentin trade. Let’s give ’em some more time.
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"

true enough. although even with cy’s performance as it stands we still fleeced kw in that trade.

-- Bruce Catton
Think so?
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
it’s a tough trade to evaluate.
factor 1: CY’s performance
2006: 73 OPS+ (70 ABs)
2007: 89 OPS+
2008: 91 OPS+
factor 2: Vazquez’s performance
2006 98 ERA+
2007 127 ERA+
2008 98 ERA+
factor 3: salary
Vazquez 2006-2008 ($36M)
CY 2006-2008 (>$1M)
factor 4: CWS CF performance
no real way to calibrate this as they’ve had Brian Anderson, DeWayne Wise, Jerry Owens, and Luis Terrero all man CF for them. I guess the best way is to list the numbers of the guy that they wouldn’t trade to us instead of CY — Brian Anderson, the heir apparent CF for the CWS at the time. His OPS+ in 2006-2008? 65, 2 (not a typo), 81 in a collective ABs fewer than 600.
So… perhaps saying we ‘fleeced’ the CWS in the trade is an overstatement, but I think given the finances, it’s not much of one.

Looking at the results of the Quentin trade
it like the CY trade isn’t nearly as 1 sided as it originally seemed. Chris Carter is raking in the minors he was just a 3 years away from the majors, Q was major league ready. Carter is a futures game alum with a .325/.422/.553 line this year. Quentin had a great first year and has struggled with injuries since.
Go DBacks!
Ahh.
So your opinion is that we got fleeced by Billy Beane instead?
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"
-Pygalgia
well if having Dan Haren
is what you considered fleeced, the yes. I guess we did give them Brett Wallace, Brett Anderson and Chris Carter for him. Hmmm…. interesting thought.
Go DBacks!
Hey.
I was just asking what you thought, since you seem to think Chris Carter is gonna be amazing.
"In the future, I want to be a fossil. Or, at least have my feces be fossilized"

No, no, no
I wasn’t criticizing. I just took what you said and thought about it out loud. I’m not saying anything special just trying to stoke the discussion fire.

no way. haren’s value has been huge. even if several of those other playeres pan out, at worst the trade was a wash.

thats my personal feelings
Brett Wallace is overrated. Brett Anderson will be a stud. Chris Carter will be Mark Reynolds 2.0.

Brett Wallace will be good
But will be a 1B, so I agree, not great.

Since the 6th of Aug til yesterday Aug 16 Brandon Allen has:
10 games going 14 for 40 .350 BA
4 BB, 2 SB, 2- Doubles, his first triple yesterday, 3 HR with 13 runs scored and 10 RBI
