Miguel Cabrera Makes #1 of the Best First Baseman of 2010

Four out of the top five (first baseman) come from the American League. There is only one slight surprise on the list, the rest have been mainstays over the past few years. This may be the only position where the top five will remain the top five all season. The number one and two guys should be there all season barring injuries.

1. Miguel Cabrera, Detroit Tigers: Cabrera has moved himself up in the MVP race along with Cano and Morneau this season. Cabrera has brought his team all the way back from a terrible start and are only three and a half games behind the Twins. With the help of Magglio Ordonez, who may be the comeback player of the year, the Tigers are proving that they can contend with the Twins this year. Cabrera is looking to have his best year of his career, he is on pace to have 51 home runs and 150 RBI’s. If the Tigers can turn their pitching around and maybe add one more bat in their lineup, it will be interesting to see if the Twins could hold them off. As of now, the Tigers are the weaker team. Cabrera and Ordonez alone cannot get the Tigers into the playoffs. I expect Cabrera to remain the best first baseman in the league throughout the season.
