Astros: Prospect Taylor Jones possibly Houston’s next first baseman

Taylor Jones is in camp at the Astros spring training facility in West Palm Beach and will try to continue the success he has been experiencing down in the Minor Leagues. Yuli Gurriel had a standout season last year and is well entrenched at his spot at first base. But at 35 years old, it may be time to seek out his future replacement.

Spring training games begin tomorrow with the first game of a two-game set against the World Series Champion Washington Nationals. Manager Dusty Baker has already said that none of the Astros regulars will play Saturday and will slowly incorporate them into games Sunday and Monday.
