2020 First Base Rankings

by
March 3, 2020

First base can dry up quickly if you’re not paying attention, but I do feel better about the position than I did at this time a year ago. I’m intrigued by that tier starting with McMahon as several of those guys could pay large dividends. Does McMahon himself take a step? Will Santana be a power/speed stud again? How do Dozier, Gurriel, and Canha follow up their breakout seasons? I don’t mind playing in that tier, but I don’t want my starting 1B coming from there.

The blue bar starts a new tier.

If you want to check out my list from September with some commentary on the Top 30, you can still find that here.

Let me know what you think in the comments!

How do you guys handle ranking players that don’t have eligibility at a position but will be playing it primarily throughout the season and will get eligibility very quickly? For this list thinking of a guy like Sano

Yeah. I’m particularly curious to know where Paul would rank Sano on this list.
