Berkman's injury history is indeed troubling, and the depth at first base this season makes him a very risky option early in your draft's middle rounds. Don't be afraid to grab him if he falls too far, though. .285-90-28-90-5 in 550 AB

Positives / Upside	Injuries derailed Berkman's 2009 season, but the slugger still managed a solid .274-73-25-80-7 line in just 460 AB. One need only look at the .312-114-29-106-18 line Berkman laid on the board in 2008 to know what he's capable of producing, and that talent will be available at a bargain price this season. .300-100-33-100-8 in 570 AB.
Negatives / Downside	Berkman is 34 and has a history of injuries, both nagging and major. Betting on Lance to stay on the field for 150-plus games is a risky venture, and it may well be that 2009 was the beginning of the end of Berkman's fine career. .275-75-20-75-3 in 450 AB
Recommendation	Only at a discount
Draft Position	58
