We looked at catchers on Wednesday, but today we go to one of the positions where bigger production lives in Fantasy -- first base.

There are a number of elite hitters at this position, but some are getting up there in age. Does that affect our strategy at all? And is first base still deeper than third base?

The Murphy/Carpenter/Davis/Abreu/Hanley group is interesting. Who has the most upside and which player is clearly better than the rest?

We’re answering all of these questions in this edition of the Fantasy Baseball Today Podcast:
