This is the second installment of these polls. To vote, simple list the top 10 first basemen that are active in order from best (#1) to least (#10). The results will be tabulated and will be announced on Nov 17 @ 9 PM or 2 days after the last ballot was submitted. The points will be alloted based on the player's ranking on each list (1st place gets 10, 2nd gets 9, 3rd gets 8, etc.) Remember, YOU MUST LIST 10!!!!!
Although you may vote for whomever you see fit try to rate players in either performance in the 2006 mlb season or performance in the last 3-4 years. However, you may can use career performance as a factor.
Here are the results from the previous polls

Probably not since i actually want to do a DH poll this year and do away with the middle reliever one.

My question would be how an awful first base like Giambi being ranked? Lol, didn't he DH and would be DH'ing again for New York if Matsui and Melky didn't play the same position and if they had decent replacement for 1B.
Lol, why in the world is Chris Shelton listed? Didn't he get demoted last season?

Giambi's a great hitter. He played rougly half his games as a yankee at first. he played quite a bit of first base over in Oakland. I based my decisions on this one over the last 5 years or so and he stacks up nicely.

I'm not counting 1B/DHs I believe that DHs (top five only) should get their own poll

I second that. He's a definite favorite of mine, IMO every bit as good as the much more hyped Soriano this season. Of course he gets a bonus for playing for the Nats too. :D

Yes, half his games at 1B make him as much as 1B as Pujols, Howard and Berkman. Giambi a DH and will likely become the full time DH. Ortiz can play 1B, but you won't see me call him a 1B. Giambi a terrible 1B and it's about time he's being made a full time DH, which will likely happen next season since Matsui likely to start in RF, even though I believe Melky should and Matsui should DH. Looking for New York to pick up a 1B that can play 1B. Not a "DH/wannabe" name Giambi.

He qualified this year as a first baseman and for the last few seasons, therefore, I ranked him as a first baseman. Is he a pain over there? yes, but so is Delgado and other historically "great" first basemen.
I rated Pujols and Berkman ahead of him anyway. Howard wasn't ahead of him because 1.5 years isn't a real good sample to judge his true worth. My ratings were over the past 5 years or so and Howard was still a young'un and has a lot to prove (though he's doing it quick).
