MLB: The All-30 and Over Team

First Base: Miguel Cabrera (Detroit Tigers) (33)

To start off, first base, besides pitcher, may be the strongest position for guys that are 30 or more years old. Many guys are still putting up great numbers even as they start to rise in age. Consistently great veterans like Joey Votto and Adrian Gonzalez are continuing to perform at a high level, even though Votto has hit a road bump early this season.

Chris Davis, who just turned 30 has been perhaps a top two power hitter in the league in his own right. But when looking at who is still the best over 30 years old first baseman in the game today, and probably seance best overall behind Paul Goldschmidt of the Diamondbacks, you have to go the Miggy.

Yes, Cabrera was injured last year, his power numbers drop a couple of seasons ago and he hasn’t gotten off to the best of starts in 2016, but his track record speaks for itself. Before he got injured last season, the 33 year-old future Hall of Famer was on pace to hit at least 25 home runs and he was hitting .338. Cabrera also has did not have a season when he hit less than 30 dingers from 2007-2013.

While hitting for all this power, he has maintained a high batting average and on-base percentage throughout his career as well. His skills may have gone down a bit since he is getting a little longer in the tooth, but last year’s numbers before his injury indicate that he still has a lot left in the tank.

Second Team: Joey Votto (Cincinnati Reds) (32)
