Well, you didn't come here for the steals, right?

As usual, this year's collection of first basemen are heavy on homers and light on the "little ball" stuff, but that's what you want from your fantasy first baseman. You want a guy you can bank on getting you close to or more than 30 homers and 100 RBI. And in today's pitcher-dominated game, power is in increasingly short supply at most other positions. So this is where to come to grab some.

Because most leagues are based on a 5x5 scoring system, our rankings are determined by what we call our "numberFire score." In short, we use a bunch of algorithms to determine how a player is going to perform across all the relevant scoring categories, and also factor in position scarcity.

Here is who we like at first base this season. Bombs away!

1. Paul Goldschmidt, Arizona Diamondbacks

the decline may be upon us.

3. Jose Abreu, Chicago White Sox

Ranked number five in our overall rankings, the Cuban slugger is coming off a sensational rookie season with the South Siders, and there's no reason not to expect an encore performance in 2015. We see I wrote about the Joey Votto conundrum, that being a first baseman that gets on base a ton but doesn't hit a lot of homers or drive in a lot of runs. While my argument remains true when it comes to winning actual real baseball games, in fantasy, you want first basemen with solid power numbers. We project Votto for a 22-homer season, but remember, he does have a 30-plus homer season to his credit (2010). The only other worry is his health, as Votto has only played a full season in one out of the last three years.

8. Victor Martinez, Detroit Tigers
