Best 1B in MLB

[tomdalton22]

I was listening to MLB radio on XM yesterday and the two guys were listing their top 10 first basemen in MLB. Their top 2 were #2 Miggy, #1 Goldschmidt. They both said it wasn't even a debate in their minds. I was surprised but I really don't follow the NL. Looking at their stats I can kind of see their point. Very similar offensively but Goldschmidt is a better defensive 1B and he can run.

Pretty surprising to me though.

Goldy is an absolute beast , hed be one of the top players i would pick right now to start a team . Id have to say i think Rizzo is gonna be pretty close to the top as well

Doesn't have the history of Miggy but being 4.5 years younger (not a FA until '19) he's definitely going to be ranked that high. If I wasn't a Tigers fan he'd be the guy I'd pick.

My top 10 for the last 3 years:

1. Mi. Cabrera 123.8
2. P. Goldschmidt 122.4
3. J. Votto 121.4

4. B. Belt 109.5

5. J. Abreu 104.8
6. F. Freeman 104.3
7. E. Encarnacion 103.6
8. A. Rizzo 102.3
9. C. Davis 101.8
10. Ad. Gonzalez 101.6


The top 3 are really close, but they are all way better than the next group or so.
