Astros: Is Yordan Alvarez the Future at First Base?

Is first base set long-term for the Astros?

The Astros answer may not be ready for the job just yet.

While many Major League clubs seem to have a notable face at first base, the Astros seem to be looking for “their guy.” Yuli Gurriel is heading into the third year of his five-year contract and is currently injured. A.J. Reed cannot seem to put it all together. J.D. Davis might get a shot this year, and Tyler White is pushing for an opportunity.

But what about long-term? Gurriel turns 34 this year, so the odds that he remains an entrenched fixture for the Astros are slim. If none of Reed, Davis or White does become the answer, it’s very likely that Yordan Alvarez is the future answer.
