This is literally going to tell you what league average hitting is at a position. Not a league average starter, per se, but league average.
At .259/.338/.453, first base is still the best offensive position in the game by both OBP and SLG, and, therefore, overall. An average hitter at 1B will, by definition, be better than the average hitter at any other position - the question is by how much.
