Willie Mays protection vs an underrated Utility player.

Even though I think Allen is underrated this one is not close. And I call him an Utility player, because this is one of those where do you put him. 807 games @ 1B; 652 games @ 3B; and 256 games in the OF. By the rules he is a Firstbaseman, but this is one the ones that can be argued.

Much closer than what I was expecting.

But Stretch had the monster numbers AND an additional 7 years of solid production.

Tough 1st round match up.
