• MLB Top Weekly Performances – First Basemen

  The first base position did not disappoint fantasy owners this week. There were some absolutely great numbers put up when fantasy owners needed them most. The week was cut short because of the All-Star break and the players listed below all put up solid power numbers which will help owners win categories that would have been very tough to win without some great efforts by the first basemen. Each player deserves recognition for putting up such solid numbers when owners needed help the most. Gold Prince...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances – First Basemen

  Once again the first base position is the position of dominance in the fantasy world this week. The player leading the charge should look familiar to every single owner. It's not everyday that a player who strikes out so often and has such a poor season average leads MLB in HR and the NL in RBI. That's Ryan Howard for you. Joining him are some players who have been solid, but all of a sudden they found an extra gear and are tearing fantasy baseball apart. Each player deserves recognition...

  Homeruns are perhaps the most exciting stat in baseball. Fans love watching players drive the ball and rack up RBI. When fantasy owners think of the first base position they will usually think of a handful of players, namely two or three big named players. This week's Top 1B Performances just so happens to include two of the three big names; Ryan Howard and Albert Pujols. This list also includes a player that many wouldn't have expected, mainly because he's only been playing first base...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances – First Basemen

  This week was a perfect example of two things. One of them is that the first base position is the powerhouse position of fantasy baseball. Secondly, first base is very deep and some unexpected players can have some very great weeks. This week involved both of those assumptions. First and foremost, Mark Teixeira can flat-out hit a baseball. He definitely wants his big contract at the end of the year. There were some other surprises this week, such as Lance Berkman not being the second best fantasy...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances – First Basemen

  It is sometimes hard to find the best fantasy first basemen every week for this article, not because players don't produce well, but because this article focuses around pure first basemen. In other words, it is made for those that play only first place and aren't versatile playing the position once every now and then. This week there were some great "pure" first basemen. In fact, the top two are some of the best power hitters in the entire game. The third member of this list isn't...

  When it comes to sports of any kind there is always one phrase that corresponds to what fans think of players - "What have they done for me now." It isn't about what they did last year, last month, or last week. Sports, especially fantasy sports, are about what is going on in the present. It just so happens that this week's top first basemen fit in well with that saying. Miggy Cabrera got a huge contract, but he didn't do anything for the Tigers to show that he really deserved...

  This week seems to be the comeback week for fantasy first basemen. Ryan Garko was once considered a legit fantasy performer, but he seemed to get lost in Travis Hafner's shadow. Then Jason Giambi began to grow a mustache and started to channel Samson himself. To follow it off the fantasy cowboy that is Kevin Millar sneaked onto the list and hit some long balls of his own; once again making him a fantasy somebody. These three players put together some truly impressive stats this week and deserve...

  The first base position has a rollercoaster this year. Every week there seem to be new faces to the list of those performing well. However, Albert Pujols seems to always produce well, but it seems that whenever he does there is another player who plays just a little bit better for that week, thus leaving Pujols in the background. Not this week. Pujols proves why he is one of the most valuable first basemen in the league. Joining him is a personal favorite of mine, Adrian Gonzalez, as well as the...

  When you think of Ryan Howard you think of day and night. He is playing at an insanely high level right now. That's about the opposite of Adrian Gonzalez. Gonzo has been the extremely consistent this season, although his average hasn't been as high as some would have liked. Each of them can take some notes from Lyle Overbay on how to get on base. Overbay has been a terror in terms of getting on base, plus he's been hitting well to boot. The three players mentioned have each turned in...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances – First Basemen

  First base is considered the position of power in fantasy sports. They hit for power, drive in runs, and suffer from low batting average. That may be true when it comes to Ryan Howard, but not Lance Berkman. Berkman has outperformed just about every player in all of baseball up to this point, but the other players listed below have also done a good job this week. Justin Morneau has shown why he is one of the most consistent first baseman, while Ryan Howard has shown he's one of the most talented...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances – First Basemen

  First basemen have always been a big component of fantasy baseball. They are the classic homerun hitters who hit the long ball and drive in tons of runs. However, this week the fantasy first basemen went above and beyond the call of duty. They were playing on an insanely high level. Kevin Youkilis lead the way with a stellar May and has more RBI this week than some players have all season long. Each player listed below went above and beyond and have helped numerous fantasy teams out. They show no...

• MLB Top Weekly Performances – First Basemen

  Fantasy first basemen showed up to play this week. There was a long list of players to choose, but the players listed below outperformed them all for the top honors. It is actually a good mesh of players if you think about it. Conor Jackson fills the role as the very young, yet productive player. Adrian Gonzalez is the guy who is a bit older, but hasn't even hit his prime. Then there is the aging veteran in Carlos Delgado; who would have thought he was capable of playing like this again? Each...
