1B Rankings

I'm continuing on with my fantasy rankings, with the 1B today.

You can see the full post here.

An excerpt:

10. Adrian Gonzalez – SD

R HR RBI SB AVG

90 40 99 1 .277

It’s amazing how deep 1B is, with a 40 homerun hitter falling all the way to 10th on my rankings. Gonzalez provides no speed, and is unlikely to produce a higher batting average than he did last season. But the power is real, and could be epic if he gets traded midseason to anywhere that plays better than Petco Park. Something to track as the season progresses, as he hit 28 of his 40 homers away from Petco last season, along with a .306 average. If he does get traded, he could potentially vault into the top 5 of first basemen, or even higher.

With Morneau

You do realize he had a broken back last year, right?

Also, Adrian Gonzalez is way too low. If you’re going to draft Votto before Gonzalez, I’d love for you to join my league :)

Votto and Gonzo

All four of the yahoo guys have Votto ranked above Gonzalez too. Votto also currently has a higher ADP at MDC. I’m not saying I agree, just that it’s not as big of a reach as you are making it sound.
