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.
