Greg Allen Draws First Start With Padres
4 years agoNew San Diego Padres outfielder Greg Allen is starting and batting ninth Wednesday against the Los Angeles Angels. Part of the blockbuster trade with the Cleveland Indians for starter Mike Clevinger, Allen will immediately see action with Wil Myers (undisclosed) surprisingly added to the IL. The 27-year-old San Diego native offers little offensive value with a 68 career wRC+ across four big league seasons. Posting just a .534 OPS in 28 plate appearances this year, Allen is merely a DFS punt with hopes his top-tier speed yields steals and runs.
