Going into the 2009 fantasy baseball season, first base looked like a very deep position. Little did we know that it’d be this deep. Here are the top five hottest fantasy baseball first baseman who are leading this very deep field:
1. Mark Teixeira, New York Yankees
The production the Yankees have got recently from Teixeira makes the franchise look smart for sign him to that mega contract in the offseason. In the last month, he has 25 RBIs, 20 runs and nine homers.
2. Albert Pujols, St. Louis Cardinals
Even though he’s dealt a few nagging injuries as of alte, Pujols remains a monster. There’s no other hitter that pitchers more.
3. Prince Fielder, Milwaukee Brewers
Fielder’s 27 RBIs and on-base percentage of .427 in the last month is extremely impressive. On the season, he’s batting a career-high .302.
4. Ryan Howard, Philadelphia Phillies
Over the last month, Howard has struggled a bit in terms of his batting average and getting on base. But when he connects, he connects. He has ten homers in the last 30 days.
5. Carlos Pena, Tampa Bay Rays
After getting off to a fast start, Pena started to cool off a little bit. But he’s not heating back up. His 21 homers lead the American League.
