Best 1B in 2008 Draft

bryeic — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 21:34:49 -0000

2008 will be go down as the decades' best 1B draft.

Below is my view on the top 5 fuirstbaseman in the draft:

1. Justin Smoak - Mark Texeira clone will clubbing HRs in Texas for years to come.

2. Brett Wallace - Natural born hitter - will soon abandon all attempts at 3B for a firstbaseman's glove. Already in AA and Travis Hafner-comp not out of the question.

3. Pedro Alvarez - Hamate injury puts his MLB career on ice temporarily. Strong comps to Albert Pujols-lite serves him well for future.

4. Eric Hosmer - HS phenom can really rake. 2012 ETA debut has him at #4.

5. Yonder Alonso - U of MIami product is a hitting stud but carries cement glove afield.

HM - David Cooper, Allen Dystrka, Ike Davis (ugh)
