    Statistics disagree with that statement. In fact, I retract suggesting he was the 2nd best fielding 1B.

      You do realize that UZR doesn't even work properly for first basemen?

            It is hard to nail down who is the best at first base..especially through stats. These guys get thrown to an awful lot. And if you look at most of these guys, they had other gold glovers throwing to them. So as far as defensively, theyre all pretty good.

            Power wise..its hard to really pick who youd want to face..Pujols..Gonzalez? I dont want to face Mark Teixera, isnt he a switch hitter too? Gross..I think the top 15 guys are all pretty deadly on a nightly basis.

                Get outta here! Cabrera has triple crown talent! The only thing that I would argue is that Prince Fielder is better that Ryan Howard and deserves to be in the top 5. Putting up massive power numbers with a .250 avg doesn't make you a top 5 1B.

                    I meant that Ryan Howard should be dropped from the top 5 Fielder is already in the top 5.
