Just think if that Back Stop from #OrangeOctober moved to 1st Base would he be considered the #1 First Baseman? How about the "El Hombre" of Halo Nation Big Albert Pujols who had an off season in 2K12 you think he would go back to back off seasons? The Top 5 First Baseman in the Show is sponsored by...which piece of Lumber do you prefer for your Work at the Dish...Maple, Ash, or Bamboo?
The 2013 Top 5 First Baseman in the Show (in order)
1. JOEY VOTTO Cincinnati Reds #RedLegs...He only had 375 At-Bats in 2012 but he is a Monster both in the Field and at the Dish. Votto his .337 with 14 bombs and 56 ribbies playing in just 111 games in 2012. He and Red Legs 2nd Baseman Brandon Phillips are the Heart and Soul of the Reds and a Top Flight right side of any infield in the Show. Look for Votto to have an MVP-Caliber Season in 2013. Did I mention he had a 1.041 OPS in 2012..Ouch!
2. "PRINCE of the D" FIELDER Detroit Tigers #ComericaNation...How does a Player in the 4-Hole hit 30 bombs and knock in 108 ducks on the pond when the Man in the 3rd Hole wins the Triple Crown? That's how goo a hitter Prince Fielder is and now you see why Brew Crew OF Ryan Braun had such success hitting behind Fielder in Beer Town USA. He also managed a .313 average and an OPS of .940. Those Numbers might even be higher in 2013 as Miggy of the D is due to slide after achieving the Triple Crown in 2012.3. ALBERT "EL HOMBRE" PUJOLS Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim #Halos...he had a terrible 1st half and started to put it together in the 2nd Half. Thinking around .250 with 25 bombs and 75 ribbies...Buzzzz! Wrong Answer. El Hombre still manage to hit 30 HRs and 105 RBIs while hitting a respectable .285 which would be a horrible Year at the Dish by Big Al's own admission. There won't be a Round Two headed South as he should put up Huge Numbers with "the Natural" Josh Hamilton on board.
4. ADRIAN "A-GON" GONZALEZ Los Angels Dodgers #BoysInBlue....was getting acclimated to his new Dodger Surroundings quite nicely at the end of 2012. If you combine his Numbers for 2012 between the Carmines and Dodgers they would have been 18 Big Flies 108 RBIs and a .299 avg. with an OPS around .800. Now give him a healthy Matt Kemp, Andre Ethier, Hanley Ramirez, and Carl Crawford Dodgers Nation has to have a lot of optimism as to why they can't win the Whole Enchilada in the Fall of 2K13. Gonzo if healthy should be back into his Big Numbers for 2013.
5. EDWIN "E-DUB" ENCARNACION Toronto Blue Jays #Jays...these are the Numbers Mr. Encarnacion put up for 2012 without a healthy Jose Bautista...42 HRs 110 RBIs with a .280 avg and a robust .940 OPS. One would have to think with the Jays Pitching Staff and Jose Reyes at the Top of that Hitting Line Up lookout for E-Dub to have even bigger numbers in 2013. Can the 'Jays with a healthy E-Dub and Bautista make enough noise in the AL East to beat the Top Heavy Teams of the Yanks, O's, and Rays?
