Mike Napoli spent a majority of 2017 playing first base. Joey Gallo played 52 games at the first base position and did quite well. Without a doubt, Gallo is one of the names who the Rangers are thinking about giving the opportunity to earn the starting job next season at the first base position.
Gallo isn’t the only name who’s capable of earning the starting job, however. Ronald Guzman is another who’s more than capable of winning the job, too. Guzman may one of the biggest names in Spring Training next year. It would n’t be surprising if Gallo shifted from first base, third base, and left field next season as he did in 2017.
