Steve Berthiaume just called Goldschmidt "America's First Baseman."

Best 1B in baseball for sure

Still a stupid statement. And I like Goldschmidt.

Eh... for sure?

 

We've got a pretty good one ourselves. And Joey Votto is still pretty great. I mean, Goldschmidt has a .398 BABIP this year. And, while he always has a high BABIP because he is such a greater hitter, that is pretty unsustainable. He's definitely great. And he's probably number one. But, there's not that much of a gap, if any, between him and Rizzo.

Votto is Canadian, no?

And Rizzo is a magical being from the forgotten realm of Faerun, so I'm pretty sure that goldy wins by default.
