Who do you think it is? I really think it comes down to Pujols, Cabrera, Teixeira, and Votto.

Pujols had another great season last year, but it is only a matter of time until he starts dropping off. Personally, I don't think it will be this season, I see another 40+ season from Pujols. I can see Cabrera also having another great season and ending up #2 among first basemen behind Pujols.

I think Howard should be up there as well. I know he doesn't always have the best average and strikes out too much but in a standard fantasy league you can make up for his average with post draft pickup players most of the time and you still get just as good of Power numbers that you get from the guys you mentioned. I don't trust Cabrera enough to be a high draft pick personally, it's not that he's been anything short of remarkable in the past but I do fear that one of these days he's going to eat himself out of the league and feel that he may be due for an off year.

Love Votto though, he's a stud. Nuf' said

In standard 5X5 in 2010, Pujols (13.29), Votto (12.99), and Cabrera (12.43) were the top three by a margin.

Konerko (10.07) was in a league of his own.

Then Adrian Gonzalez (8.14) and Huff (7.84), both of whom finished ahead of Howard (7.19) and Teixeira (7.03).

Dunn (6.71) and Butler (6.47) rounded out the top ten.

Me. I'd take any of those first three guys first.

Did you know that Carols Gonzalez led the majors at 15.03? Pujols was second.

Those 10 names are exactly the reason why i hate making a first round pick....i could go after one of those top 3, but 1B is so freaking deep it's not even funny

and did anybody even notice LaRoche and his 100 RBI's last year??

CarGo? Not sure if I agree with that one. I know he showed some great power last season and also showed off a very nice record, I'm not so sure things are going to stay that way in 2011.

Think he was just saying that as a fun fact, not saying to pick him first. Interesting though, would have taken me hours to guess that one probably.
