Draft and Trade Talk Message Board
-
Hello - Im in a 11 team points league where we keep 5. As deep as the position seems to be, I have not had a 1st base keeper in a number of years. This year my keepers are Trout, Cargo, Longo, Justin Upton and Buster Posey. I would like to draft "the next big thing" in first basemen.
Most of the usual suspects will be kept (Votto, Pujols, Prince, etc). I think Goldy, Rizzo, and Ike will be available in the first or second round after we take keepers out of the equation. Who do you think will be the next really good offensive 1Ber? Also, when should I target them? Im guessing I need a pitcher with my first pick (back end of the first round).
Any help?-

I'm pretty much in the same boat as you in terms of not having a 1b keep. Ill probably take a chance on Rizzo, his numbers were decent last year and seems like he has the most upside of the guys youll be considering.

Billy Butler,Freddie Freeman,Eric Hosmer are the guys I would be targeting at 1B if there still there in the 3rd-5th round I would take them if you want a 1B that bad if not wait on someone like Nick Swisher or Adam Laroche. Also follow me on twitter at mlbmayhem

If Howard is not kept by someone you could draft him. I think a lot of guys are going to be trying to draft Howard late this year. But I think he will have a big year.

I agree with posters above me. Butler is one that can be overlooked as a Keeper. I'd then look at Howard who still mashed 22HRs last year.
Victor Martinez? I think he's 1b eligible. -

Don't think Mark Trumbo is 1B eligible this season. He only played OF with a few starts at 3B last season and none at 1B that I recall thanks to some guy named Albert those Angels seemed to want to put at first instead. :-)
I could be wrong but I have him on a team and was watching him like a hawk last season hoping he'd get a chance to retain that eligibility with a few fill in games but no such luck.
I agree Craig would be a really good pick-up. Ruf in the late rounds isn't bad either.

Take Goldy if he is available. He is a 5 category producer and young.

i have seen a few people predicting ryan howard to have a big season... any reason why? predicting back to number of old? or better? seems like even if he regains his prior form he should have less rbi oppotunities with current lineup..
