BEST 1ST BASEMEN IN THE AL?

[Blackout]

eh?

[Blackout]

Miguel Cabrera to me

[CrazyCarl40]

When you combine offense and defense it's Youks with Morneau and Tex both a very close second.

[Bugg]

If Morneau played in NY or Boston he'd be duly acknowledged as the best. No knock on anyone else, simply Morneau is the best.

Agreed.

+1

Absolutely agree.

There may not be a better 1-2 punch in baseball than Mauer and Morneau right now.

[PFSIKH]

I love Youk that bald headed freak and cannot wait until he is back, Morneau is the best.

[mbn007]

I am impressed with Tex's glove and throwing abilities. After Giambi for 7 years, this is a revelation. I know he will hit, and hit with power too. I took Tex, but can easily see anyone taking Morneau.

[Lurker]

Perhaps you mean 'baseman'?

Or do I have to type it in ALL CAPS?

[Otter]

I can't stand Youkilis, but I voted for him. He's a great fielder and grinds out at bats.

Maybe by the end of the season I'll favor Teixiera, but he hasn't hit well so far. It's nice that the Yankees have a first baseman that can field the position well.

[Blackout]

I am SHOCKED at the amount of votes for Morneau

How could you be shocked by this?

Maybe since he's the only one to win an MVP award?

Bogus MVP though

Bogus MVP though

And who should it have been if not Morneau? Only argument is possibly Santana.

Jeter, easily.

Regardless, the fact that he's the only one on this list that has is reason alone to not make it "shocking".

I'd consider it "shocking" if Lyle Overbay was getting votes. But certainly not a guy who has won an MVP and is a perennial candidate for it every year.

I think he meant "shocking" by how 1 sided the voting is.

He is shocked because he thinks Migs, Youks and Tex are al better....

[Blackout]

uppp

[Blackout]

yeah

Miggy offensively blows the others out of the water; Tex is the best offensive-defensive combo (and best defensive player) and Youk is one gritty bastard

look at last year and the year before too

[QueensTypeOfJetsFan]

When you combine Offense and Defensive talent...It's Carlos Pena. Power hitter with the best defensive glove in the game @ 1st base.

Of course you have to be the only ****ing person who votes for Carlos Pena.

Take off your Rays glasses.

Dude...Carlos Pena is really good man, elite. 2ns place in HR's this year and won a gold glove last year after playing like a gold glover for years now.
