The Fantasy Man's 2012 Fantasy Baseball First Base Rankings
1. Albert Pujols - Doesn't matter where he signs
2. Miguel Cabrera - Close to Pujols numbers but younger
3. Adrian Gonzalez - Power drought in 2011 will turn you a profit in 2012
4. Prince Fielder - Dependable and reliable source of power, solid BA, etc.
5. Joey Votto - Top notch numbers all around
6. Mark Teixeira - The negative post season talk will have him more motivated in 2012
7. Ryan Howard - Probably a nice value pick in the late 2nd or 3rd round possibly, possibly later
8. Paul Konerko - He scares me a bit, I won't pick him before the 6th round
9. Michael Young - Position eligibility is super valuable
10. Mike Morse - Legit power, decent BA, up and coming team, I love the upside
11. Justin Morneau - A healthy Morneau puts him at #7 or #8, probably "steal of the draft"
12. Gaby Sanchez - Nice upside here
13. Adam Lind - This guy drives me nuts, numbers look good at end of season, super streaky
14. Freddie Freeman - only way to go is up for this guy, cant go wrong for a decent price
15. Ike Davis - Should be valued lower in drafts because of injury, dude can hit, Mets moved fences in
16. Mark Trumbo - Legit power, probably a .260-.270 type hitter at 1B
17. Kendrys Morales - Could take a half to get back on track at DH
18. Mark Reynolds - BA is garbage but draft him for the 30+ power and find BA elsewhere
19. Adam Dunn - lol
20. Eric Hosmer - Nice upside, good BA/power combo potential
21. Mitch Moreland - Fluid swing, grinder kind of guy, I like the upside, will be super cheap
22. Paul Goldschmidt - Big time power, should be a nice sleeper, grab cheap for a few years
23. Justin Smoak - Love the power but too inconsistent, pitchers ballpark, no protection
24. Aubrey Huff - You get a good power streak at least once a year good for 8-10 HR at a time
25. James Loney - I'm not doing the sleeper thing again, but showed some of that promise in 2nd half
26. Todd Helton - Just a serviceable but reliable bat for some BA and some RBI's
27. Matt LaPorta - He's in the Loney boat but without the 2nd half promise in '11
28. Jesus Guzman - Big sleeper, tore up the waiver wire late last season but SD will hurt power
29. Carlos Lee - My pick for Konerko of 2010 or Berkman of 2011
30. Garrett Jones - Serviceable, won't wow you but possesses a power/speed 20/10 combo potential
31. Daric Barton - If only this dude could hit consistently, still young for an unexpected break out
32. Anthony Rizzo - Great talent, nice sleeper, but San Diego sucks the lifeblood out of your team
33. Brett Wallace - If he makes the team, should see a slight increase in production
DH's to consider if your position eligibility rule is low:
Victor Martinez - Played 6 games at 1B, with C eligibility would be #10 on this list
Billy Butler - Played 11 games at 1B, considering age, I'd satsh between Morse and Morneau
David Ortiz - Let's see where he ends up but otherwise top 15
