Pujols
Helton
Thome
D. Ortiz (if he qualifies)
Tex (might be too high at this slot)
Huff
Delgado
Hafner
D. Lee
Konerko
Sexson (injury concern)
Nevin (injury concern)
Thomas (injury concern)
Sweeney (always an injury concern)
Bagwell
Morneau (could shoot way up/limited sample size)
Casey (can't stay healthy for 2 straight years)
Giambi (major injury concern)
Hillenbrand
Durazo
Thanks for the heads up on Hafner. I'm going to include him, but he won't qualify in my leagues I only play in keeper leagues so some guys might be higher than if only concerned with 2005. Also before anyone screams " Why No Huff?" he is on my 3B list.

1. Albert Pujols (as if there was any doubt)
2. Todd Helton (Colorado)
3. Jim Thome (see Pujols above)
4. Mark Teixeira (three words: homers, homers, homers)
5. Carlos Delgado (ready for a better season than 2004)
6. Paul Kornerko (the most AL homers this season?)
7. Richie Sexson (i know, injury questions)
8. Sean Casey (same as Richie above)
9. Phil Nevin (slugging percentage)
10. Brad Wilkerson (power/speed combo)
At least in Yahoo leagues, Durazo will not qualify for 1B. You need a minimum of 15 games at a position, and he played less than that. He'll qualify only at the utility (DH) position
I think Morneau, while not a sleeper, is a bit undervalued, as miguel cabrera was last season. He might be worth a pick if you are strong at the other power positions or you have a power MI or Catcher. He has got much room to improve, and i look for a good year from him.

How do you spell "biased?"
