Greatest First Baseman - 2000's

[Stars_Rangers_82]

This thread will allow you to vote for who in your opinion feel is the greatest player at his position for a particular decade. The criteria I will be using is 1,000 games played for position players, 250 games started for SP's, and 400 appearances for relief pitcher's.

Here are the candidates for the 2000's First Baseman.

If Albert Pujols was not in the mix I would have voted Todd Helton. However, Pujols was a freak this decade!

True, to bad this wasn't a 98-07 poll. Helton has great numbers but Pujols is putting up numbers of a legend. Plus, Pujols has baserunning skills and it is about a push with the glove but if tit came to tat I would give the leather to Helton since I have got to see him so much.

Mark Teixeira may be a defensively the sae as Albert, but there is no one in the game in the decade that is better offensively then Albert.
