1. Albert Pujols (1) – Wow. Not much to say at this point.
2. Mark Teixeira (2) – Off to a slow start but he’ll get it going.
3. Lance Berkman (5) – Plays the outfield, but many fantasy owners use his first base eligibility. He’s off to a MVP caliber season.
4. Jim Thome (12) – Well, this trade sure worked out nicely. Thome currently leads the AL with 14 bombs, is second in runs scored with 33 and is tied for second in walks with 28.
5. Todd Helton (4) – He’s back and ready to help his fantasy owners. His power, however, may never fully return.
6. Adam Dunn (6) – Like Berkman, Dunn is available at 1B in most formats. His average will remain low and the strikeouts will continue coming in bunches, but he is the favorite to lead the NL in homeruns.
7. Paul Konerko (7) – With Thome in front of him, Konerko has a great shot at a career high in RBI.
8. Jason Giambi (16) – I had him way too low. Giambi goes from not homering once in spring training to showing great pop through the first six weeks of the season.
9. Ryan Howard (8) – Don’t count on his .304 average to last, but the power most definitely will.
10. Carlos Delgado (10) – With the surrounding talent, Delgado has the potential to finish with real solid numbers.
11. Richie Sexson (9) – He’s off to a horrendous start, but will eventually get it turned around.
12. Nick Johnson (18) – I’ve always been high on Nick the Stick, and he’s finally living up to his potential. He’ll probably get hurt but will continue raking while in the lineup. His .320/.430/.600 line is downright impressive considering he calls RFK home. He’s even chipped in with 4 steals.
13. Chris Shelton (21) – He’s followed up his ridiculous start with a .208/.231/.208 May.
14. Justin Morneau (13) – Still struggling batting for average, Morneau has recently shown signs of breaking out. There is still quite a bit of power upside here.
15. Derrek Lee (3) – He was on my “avoid” list, but no one could’ve seen this coming. Tough break for owners who no doubt spent a top-8 pick on him.
16. Brad Whifferson (14)
17. Prince Fielder (23)
18. Lyle Overbay (19)
19. Phil Nevin (26)
20. Dan Johnson (20)
21. Dmitri Young (28)
22. Craig Wilson (n/a)
23. Conor Jackson (n/a)
24. Ben Broussard (n/a)
25. Mike Jacobs (29)

Thome is crushing the ball, I can’t believe I passed him up. Looks like you were right about selling low on Shelton, but I think he’ll start hitting again.
-
Frank Thomas ahead of Shea Hillenbrand?
-
I included Hillenbrand in my Third Base rankings…It’s true Hillenbrand is currently a full time DH, but I figured he’s 3B eligible in most leagues and obviously more valuable there.

If E. Perez were to suffer an injury, would Broussard be a full time 1B?
