Mets Ink 1B Brandon Allen

John Cougar Lunchbucket Nov 19 2013 10:55 AM

27 years old, LH hitting first baseman, cup o joe with dbaggs, A's, Rays since '09, spent all of last year with Padres AAA. Said to have occasional moonshot power, but also whiffs his share.

Maybe about to shed a firstbasey too maybe.

More glut!

Well, by the cut of him I'd say the Mets are well loaded at first base.

Wonder if Jay-Z represents him.

I kept telling everyone they'd make a big splash! Woohoo!

I'm calling him Cannonball...

Only player not named Russell Branyan to reach the upper deck at YSIII. Bats left, throws right. Plays left and first. Thick in the middle. Twenty-seven years old. Got a good chance to be the black Lucas Duda.

He's big all right. But is he man enough to block Alan Dykstra's path to Las Vegas? Later

They could just give him Jorge Toca's old jersey and locker.
