By Jeremy Tiermini The first base position was perhaps the deepest one heading into fantasy baseball Draft Day for the 2010 season. With over one-third of the games played for the season there are some notable names in the running for the Bust of the Year.

Through his first 25 games the only thing Tex has done at an all-star clip is draw walks. Even with 19 free passes his on-base percentage is only .339 [...]
