This is one of the few positions where you could make a good case for a current player making the final ballot - if I hadn’t already said the active players are not eligible. That player is, of course, Albert Pujols. Depending on what happens in the rest of his career, he could end up as only the second player at 1B (50% or more of games there) to be worth more than a hundred bWAR. He currently sits at 99.6. However, it’s far from a sure thing: if he had retired five years ago, he would have been there already, since Pujols was worth 101.
