Typically, if a player appears in just seven games for a team, they would be hard pressed to leave behind a lasting legacy. In fact, it is difficult to imagine that they would have had any type of an impact upon the team at all. However, that was not the case with former Tampa Bay Rays first baseman/outfielder Brandon Allen.
Allen had once been a top prospect, ranking in the top 100 prospects in the game prior to the 2009 and 2010 seasons. However, he was unable to stay in the Diamondbacks lineup, ad was traded to the A’s at the 2011 trade deadline as part of a package for Brad Ziegler.
