With just the very early part of Spring Training under the White Sox' belt, one name has popped up quite a bit that you probably didn't expect to see so much of. Particularly in the shape of a 6'4, 250 lb. first base prospect - the one and only Joe Borch -- I mean, Seth Loman.
I'm going to assume most of you don't know much about him. With the team's surplus of power hitters, there frankly hasn't been much reason to familiarize yourself with the slugger.
Drafted in the 47th round by the Los Angeles Angels of Aneheim in the 2005 MLB Draft, Loman has always been considered a bit of a raw prospect.

For the price of a 200-something pick, De Aza delivered top-100 numbers. Given his role as a speed-first leadoff hitter, his nine...

In 2010 and 2011, Paul Konerko topped the 100-RBI mark for the first time since 2006, giving him six 100-RBI seasons in his 14 years as a full-time player.Last season Konerko saw his RBI total fall by 30 despite amassing just 40 fewer plate appearances.

As mentioned in our position rankings, First Base has become a deep, dominant position again. With tons of young talent to choose from, its hard to draft an ageing power hitting first baseman. But to fill in the UTIL, DH & CI positions, these old school, all or nothing hitters can really help you fill out that HR, RBI and BB categories. Yes, they strike out a ton, but...
