November 11, 2024
Atlanta acquired Allen from the Athletics on Monday in exchange for Jared Johnson.
ANALYSIS
Allen, 26, has managed just a .209/.254/.283 batting line over parts of three seasons at the major-league level. He does have a reputation as a solid glove at shortstop, although he came in at negative-2 Outs Above Average during his 41 games with the Athletics in 2024. Allen offers an alternative at shortstop to Orlando Arcia, who is coming off a disappointing season, but ultimately Allen should be more of a depth option.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Allen began last year in a platoon role with the A's, but he was quickly sent down following a 1-for-16 start. He would go on to bounce between Triple-A and the majors for most of the season before settling in with the big club for the final two months. The patience he had shown during his time at the Triple-A level was not there in his time with Oakland, but Allen was at least able to make contact and hit for a palatable batting average down the stretch. Listed at 5-foot-8, 166 pounds, Allen is severely lacking in the power department, as he's never once reached double-digit homers in a professional season. If he's to ever make an impact in the fantasy realm, he will have to do it with steals and batting average. While not a burner, Allen has shown good efficiency on the basepaths in the minors over the past two seasons. The 25-year-old tentatively projects as the starter at shortstop for the A's entering 2024.
Allen almost earned an opening day roster spot but began in Triple-A Las Vegas. Soon, the rookie made his MLB debut, then shuttled between the majors and minors until late June, then played regularly the rest of the season. The slick-fielding infielder played both sides of the keystone, spending a more time at shortstop which is where he's earmarked for the upcoming campaign. Allen is a defense-first player with good contact skills, but he's not patient, nor does he hit the ball with much authority as his 84-mph average exit velocity indicates. Allen has speed but stole only three bases. If his defense weren't superb, he'd be a candidate to platoon as the righty swinger had much better splits against lefties. From a fantasy perspective, the fact he'll play a lot is detrimental, since his limited counting stats won't be enough to mitigate the batting average damage.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Time running out as starter
SSOakland Athletics
August 18, 2023
Robert Murray of FanSided.com speculates that shortstop prospect Darell Hernaiz could soon be called up by the A's, which could bring an end to Allen's run as the club's primary shortstop.
ANALYSIS
Allen leads Oakland with 58 starts at shortstop this season and has started 24 of 29 games at the position since the All-Star break, but he sports a .204/.254/.282 slash line through 169 games in his big-league career. Hernaiz is one of the organization's top prospects and has a .945 OPS in 30 games since being promoted to Triple-A Las Vegas in mid-July, which could be enough for him to earn some starts in the majors down the stretch.
