There are a number of different paths that fantasy owners can pursue during the draft, but I’m a firm believer that you have to win at certain positions, no matter the names each season. More specifically, you cannot win your league if you fall behind in these positions. Allow me to present the first of those in our first base primer.
This position has everything fantasy owners look for—other than speed. Seven of the 20 players who hit at least 30 homers last season play first base, tied with outfield for the most of any position. Of course, there are three times as many starting outfielders as there are first basemen.
