Some of y'all are spoiled by having had a legit great first baseman around so long. I remember well the Braves' long-term "cheapo" plan for first base between the Big Cat and Freeman, and I have no desire to return to that time. What leading lights we saw:
Rico Brogna - .248/.297/.335, -1.0 WAR
Wes Helms - .234/.287/.423, -0.6 WAR
Ken Caminiti - .222/.306/.380, -0.9 WAR
Robert Fick - .269/.335/.418, 0.6 WAR
Scott Thorman - .222/.260/.407, -1.0 WAR
Craig Wilson - .172/.304/.259, -0.2 WAR
Casey Kotchman - .267/.346/.378, 0.6 WAR
Troy Glaus, .240/.344/.400, 0.2 WAR
Just like a literal decade's worth of hot garbage.
Oh there was the Tex Interregnum (a horrible deal that was a direct reaction to the cheapo policy) and Laroche was cromulent for a while, but by god we've had some terrible 1B over the years because we though it was a position where we could save money.
Never Forget, we had to dig up the corpse of Julio Franco and reanimate it for years with
the power of prayer.
