We continue our look at the best free agents on the market this offseason by turning our attention to the first basemen.
2010 MLB Free Agents: Adam Dunn The Prize At First Base
Adam Dunn: Dunn has hit at least 38 homers for seven consecutive years, and remains one of the strongest and most patient hitters in the game. He's likely entering the decline of his career, but still has a lot left to give.
Paul Konerko: the 34 year old Konerko is coming off the best year of his life, with 39 home runs and a .977 OPS. Those numbers are inflated from having played in a hitter-friendly ballpark, but he's still fully capable of driving in a ton of runs.
Aubrey Huff: Huff turns 34 in a few weeks and has been alternating good years with bad ones, which will drive down his price. A big season and a good showing in the World Series should get him paid, though.
Carlos Pena: Pena's 32, and is coming off a year that saw him bat just .196. The power and walks were still there, though, and he's a good candidate to bounce back and slug 30 dingers from the heart of somebody's order.
Derrek Lee: Lee salvaged a down year with a good stint in Atlanta, and while he isn't going to go deep 46 times like he did in 2005 ever again, he's still got a season or two of life left in his bat.

Worth noting: Adam LaRoche, Lyle Overbay, Ty Wigginton.
