Unlike middle infield, the options later in the draft and at the bottom of this list are not nearly as…. scary.

However, it is worth noting that 20 of the first 30 corner infielders are first basemen.

3B is an awfully shallow position this year as managers need to be very careful to thread a tight rope in this year’s draft.

Not everyone can land one of the top options as there might be some pressure to reach in an early round to snag a third baseman at a price that doesn’t match their real value.

In a deeper setup like a 15-team league, this might be more do-able, but in a standard 12-team league, that needs to not happen.

There are third baseman toward the back half of this list that are fine values for the draft price they will cost you.

At first base, there is no pressure at all to get one of the bigger names.

If they fall to you at the right price, then yes, take them.

But don’t feel like you have to. There are plenty of first base options later in the draft that will provide you with solid value.

I will be updating this list throughout spring training to account for:

• Spring training performance – Do we see a regression in things like bat speed or do they chase more than usual?
• Injuries – self explanatory.
• Announcements – some players we are waiting to find out where they are in the lineup or if they will be stuck in a platoon. Some have injury updates that may impact their ranking as well.

My top-10 are free to all but to get access to the full list, you will need to have an MLB FantasyPass membership.

I grew up in Crosby, TX, just about 30 minutes east of Houston, TX. Yes, I am a major Houston Astros fan, and love my Texans and Rockets.

I graduated Crosby High School in 2006 (Go Coogs!) and attended San Jacinto College (Go Gators!) before attending and graduating from Texas Tech in 2012 (Go Tech!). I got my degree in journalism.

Throughout my academic life I was on some form of debate team, and it was the greatest experience of my academic career.

Now I couldn’t be more happier. Sports Ethos is allowing to me to live a life long dream: to be a sports writer.
