Fantasy 1B Rankings

Fantasy drafts are closer than you think. It's never too late to start thinking about potential draft day selections. We're going to run through our picks at each position each week leading up to draft day. The format will assume a 12 team league, and we'll also pick 4 sleeper picks. Without further ado, here's 1B.

1. Albert Pujols - no brainer, probably the number 1 overall pick of most drafts
2. Miguel Cabrera - 1st rounder, like AP, combines power, run production, and average
3. Joey Votto - could also be 1st rounder, expect another big year
4. Adrian Gonzalez - maybe 1st round, certainly top of the 2nd. Look what he did with nothing in SD, now he has Boston protection. Big numbers coming.
5. Mark Teixeira - relegated to 2nd round. Don't be afraid of the slow first half. Pencil him in for 30 and 100.
6. Ryan Howard - average is the only thing holding him out of top 5. 2nd round unless taken by a zealous Phillies fan. Still looking at 35 and 120 probably.
7. Prince Fielder - power numbers went way down without a loss of games played. Could be traded mid-season. Probably 3rd round, maybe 4th.
8. Kevin Youkilis - should have 1B eligibility based on last year. Would have been 30/100/.300 if not for injuries. Chances are he's gone by now, having been taken as 3B.
9. Justin Morneau - injuries killed his 2010, but he was on pace for 35 and 110. 4th or 5th round.
10. Kendry Morales - coming off that broken leg celebrating a homerun. Morales can put it together for power, run production, and average. People may forget about him due to the injury.
11. Adam Dunn - you know he's good for 35 bombs a year, but he has b2b .260 averages and was still knocking out homers in Washington.
12. Paul Konerko - put it all together 39/111/.312. Gets some more protection in Dunn, but he's getting a little long in the tooth. If you miss a top guy, Konerko could be a good mid-rounds selection. Especially if you use a CI spot.

Sleepers:

1. Matt LaPorta - Should get lion's share of starts. He's suppose to put it all together soon, maybe it's this year.
2. Ike Davis - 19 and 71 in rookie campaign. Barring sophomore slump, could be a good season in Flushing for Ike.
3. Billy Butler - the average has been there, the power and rbi's are coming. Still only going to be 25 at season start. Could be a great late round steal.
4. Adam LaRoche - still doesn't have a team, but did 25 and 100 last year for Arizona. If he finds a good situation, could be worth a CI or Utility spot.

What do you think? Who'd we miss, who should be higher, who's another sleeper?
