My hard on for my fav player is not the only reason I posted this


In fact, last night, I tried imaging the Cardinals without Pujols....and yes, we would be dramatically worse, but we really wouldn't be that awful....even if Aubrey Huff was our first basemen, we wouldn't be nearly as great, but I think we would still be close to a .500 team.

That Pujols guy is pretty good.

[HoustonGM]

No Daniel Murphy either?

Daniel Murphy might be the worst fantasy first basemen there is heading into the season.

[DarthJaker]

[Jeffy25]

Albert Pujols might be the worst fantasy first basemen there is heading into the season.

[metsguy234]

Daniel Murphy might be the worst fantasy first basemen there is heading into the season.

Why? Dude's a solid player, good fielder.

[Alloutwar]

I'm kind of surprised Ryan Howard is ranked 4th. guess i take him for granted sometimes

[metsguy234]

Also, why the hell is Todd Helton 27th?

These rankings suck rainbows.

[HoustonGM]

Why? Dude's a solid player, good fielder.

1) He's a terrible hitter for a first basemen.
2) In 95% of fantasy leagues, fielding does not matter.

He's more valuable in fantasy than in real life.

1) If you get back the hitting at other positions (like at SS, 3B, LF, and CF) then it really doesn't matter how good your 1B is offensively.

2) I didn't realize this was a fantasy list. The title doesn't indicate it as such.

Yes, it does.

True,but it should be obvious since it links to ROTOauthority and has dollar values.
