Thank you for visiting Crooked Pitch! While you're here you'll find tons of valuable fantasy baseball information to help you win your fantasy baseball league. If you're new here, or haven't done so yet, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Here is the list of fantasy first basemen who play in the American League West Division. You’ll only find players on this list that will or could make a fantasy impact in 2008.

Now, before I get flooded with e-mails about the Athletics players making up 33% of this list, let me say that Swisher will play a lot of outfield in 2008 leaving a battle between Barton and Johnson, which I think Barton will win some time before the All-Star break. Until that happens, I need to leave them ranked like this. Once the picture becomes a little more clear, I can adjust so you can maximize value for your fantasy teams.

Also, Jarrod Saltalamacchia is not on this list as the Rangers have made it clear he is a full time catcher again. Obviously, if your fantasy league allows him to maintain his status as a first baseman as well as a cacther, Salty will be uber-valuable.

  1. Nick Swisher | Oakland A’s
  2. Richie Sexson | Seattle Mariners
  3. Casey Kotchman | Los Angeles Angels
  4. Daric Barton | Oakland A’s
  5. Dan Johnson | Oakland A’s
  6. Brad Wilkerson | Texas Rangers
  7. Chris Shelton | Texas Rangers
  8. Kendry Morales | Los Angeles Angels
  9. Ben Broussard | Seattle Mariners

    Hi Knox. Just happened to be in the neighbourhood and I thought it will be a good idea to drop by and say, “Hello.”

    Beside American Football, Baseball is another games that I found hard to comprende, ;-)

    Anyway, on my Flag Ship blog (not the one I’m promoting with Entrecard) has Baseball on it, courtesy from A&E. Just thought you should know.

    Greetings and lotta loves from Malaysia.
