It’s only befitting that during the week of the Hall of Fame announcement that we do an Astros legend comparison. With Jeff Bagwell and the next first baseman in line, Yulieski Gurriel.
The Astros have been looking for a serviceable first baseman since the Hall of Famer left the left side of the infield in 2006. Lance Berkman took over at first base but was traded to the Yankees in 2010. A long line of first basemen, including some highly touted prospects, have come and gone since then.
