Judd Allen

Boston Bandits (2000-2001)
In the 2000 Inaugural Draft, Allen was drafted in the seventh round by the Boston Bandits. Allen was viewed more like a project by Boston, given his big age difference with other players selected in earlier rounds. He was kind of disappointing in his first season, not appearing in every game, playing in 31 of them. He managed to hit 6 home runs and 22 RBI. His contract was automatically renewed at the end of the season.

Allen definitely improved during the 2001 season and upped his batting average to .325. His season was unfortunately cut short with a foot injury. He was still able to appear in the Championship Series, as a pinch hitter. He pinch hitted three times, good for two hits. He signed a one-year deal with Boston after the season ended.

New York Bombers (2002-
Mere days before the 2002 season began, Boston decided to trade Allen to the New York Bombers for relief pitcher Bubba Kelly and catcher B.C. Osborn. Boston reportedly hated the deal after the season began, as Allen exploded with New York. He hit 14 home runs, good for 43 RBI, as much as he did in the two previous years combined. Allen was one of New York's best player and won an ABA Gold Glove Award at the end of the season. He signed another one-year deal.
