NL King Ranks NL Only 1B Fantasy Baseball Rankings
2012 Fantasy Baseball NL ONLY 1B First Basemen Rankings
The Elite:
Joey Votto - CIN - There is only one sure-fire elite 1B in the NL and his name is Joey Votto. How good is Joey Votto? Votto last season was a bit off but still put up numbers of 29HR, 103RBI, 101R, 9SB, .309 AVG, .416 OBP. That's how good Votto is to be a bit off and put up those kind of numbers. Votto was only...

UCB Roundtable Question
Cards N' Stuff:Wow, that's a tough one...I agree with Bill on Jay - the guy has yet to weather the doldrums of a full season as a starter and has clearly shown he is vulnerable to lengthy and mysterious slumps...and I hear you on David Freese - how can anyone expect him to live up to his postseason mythology before he's even played a full, healthy season? Nowhere to go but down for...

Berkman ready for first in 2012
ST. LOUIS - The first thing that popped into Lance Berkman's head when he heard the news that Albert Pujols had signed with the Anaheim Angels wasn't one of disappointment or sadness or shock.
It was a bit more obvious.
"That I was going to be playing first," Berkman said of his initial reaction.
After returning to the outfield full-time for the first time in...

Fantasy Bust 2012
Bust is a pretty strong word when describing a guy who hit 39 homers and drove in 11 runs, but calling him an “Overrated poor man’s Ryan Howard” just seemed like too much work. Don’t get me wrong, Tex is still going to hit home runs, and drive in runs, but that’s where it ends with him....

Where Are They Now? (The NL Central Edition)
A quick scan through the National League Central rosters reveals a lot of the same names fans have come to see year after year. However, the name on the front of the jersey changes more often than you may realize. The St. Louis Cardinals have been called the 2004 Houston Astros after the additions of Carlos Beltran, Lance Berkman, and potentially Roy Oswalt. The Reds have been called...
