Houston Astros: Will Jon Singleton be Given a Chance for First Base Job?

For years, Houston Astros fans have dreamed of Carlos Correa and Jon Singleton making a positive impact on the roster for years to come. Correa was supposed to be the Astros future at shortstop and Singleton was supposed to emerge from Ryan Howard’s shadow to become the next great first baseman. At least, that is what we thought would happen. The Astros felt that Singleton was the real deal, signing him to a major league contract before he saw his first major league pitch. He showed promise in his first game hitting a majestic home run after striking out twice in the game.
