2008 GNUru 1B Projections
Written by The GNUru   
Mar 13, 2008 at 02:00 AM
Over the years the GNUru has slightly warmed up to the first base position.  Previously the GNUru believed that any top 12 first basemen would score you a heaping of "fantasy flakes".  But after years of relying on guys like RichieSexso, the Ryan HowardGNUru has changed his ways.  While a player like Sexson will certainly provide some run production, there is no substitute for the consistency and multi-category scoring the elite first basemen can provide.  While Albert Puljols, Ryan Howard, and David Ortiz will be likely first round picks, immense value can still be had a little later with guys like Teixera (who disappointed many last year),Hafner (still under the radar of many), and Justin Morneau.  The GNUru still likes any of the top 12 or so 1B but be sure to get the one you want, even if it means taking a Jim Thome in the 6th , rather than waiting until the final rounds and taking whoever is still there.  Trust the GNUru on this one!  Potential Bargains:  LyleOverbay, Adam LaRoche, Derrick Lee
