I'll continue tomorrow by discussing National League First Basemen with double-digit Positive Draft Value.

Today's Fantasy Rx: Based on each player's keeper potential heading into his sophomore season in the majors, select rookie first basemen in the following order in minor league drafts (I've included the preferred round price for Ultra leagues): Dan Johnson($15), Mike Aubrey($10), Jason Botts($10), Walter Young($10), Juan Tejeda($5), and Brant Colamarino($2). While Colamarino and even Tejeda only merit flyers in fairly deep leagues, the other four prospects deserve significant consideration even in traditional leagues. Each member of this quartet should start 2005 no lower than AAA and could secure a big league starting spot by August, at least giving them good trade value in any league.
