More Drugs for McStallen = First Base Preview

The morphine is kicking in, so I decided to do two posts in one night because I am in such a good mood.


Well we did second base, so I suppose it would only be right to cover first base now. There is alot of talent here kids, so don't be too eager to get a star. You can probably get a very good one 8-10 rounds into the bloody draft.

1) Albert Pujols, St. Louis- he is probably really 35-years old, but he is simply the best out there
2) Todd Helton, Colorado- outstanding hitter
3) Jim Thome, Philadelphia- this big lummox may hit 55 homeruns this year
4) David Ortiz, Boston- former Twin who went ape-shit last season
5) Mark Teixeira, Texas- everyone is waiting for him to win a homerun title. Move him up a few slots on your cheatsheet if he is eligible at third base in your league
6) Justin Morneau, Minnesota- consensus break-out player at first base
7) Aubrey Huff, Tampa Bay- two years ago he was the consensus break-out player at third base
8) Derek Lee, Cubs- are his days as a base stealer over?
9) Richie Sexson, Seattle- a steal as a late-round pick, although Seattle's Safeco Field is not very hitter-friendly
10) Carlos Delgado, Florida- may have an outstanding season batting in Captain Jack McKeon's stacked line-up
11) Paul Konerko, Whitesox- won't reproduce last season's success
12) Travis Hafner, Cleveland- this year's draft "bust" at first base
13) Jeff Bagwell, Houston- hits worse and worse every year
14) Tom Hagen, New York- when Sonny was a kid he found Tom Hagen in the street. He's not a Sicilian, but I think he's going to be consiglieri.
15) Phil Nevin, San Diego- may be eligible at third base too
16) Sean Casey, Cincy- could be a steal if he can reproduce his '04 season
17) Brad Wilkerson, Montreal- under-rated
18) Lyle Overbay, Milwaukee- faded fast last season- McStallen says "Stay Away!"
19) Nick Johnson, Montreal- make-or-break season for the former Yanqui prospect
20) Mike Sweeney, Kansas City- a steal if he can stay healthy- pity though that the rest of the line-up is downright terrible

Watch out for Darin Erstad, Dmitri Young, Craig Wilson, Kevin Millar, Carlos Pena and Shawn Green- they're all decent hitters. And keep an extra eye out for Mo Vaughn clone Ryan Howard, who is waiting behind Jim Thome in musty Philadelphia
