The Astros agreed to terms on a three-year, $60 million contract with Walker on Friday, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.
Scouting Report
Owns prodigious power and the ability to knock in a lot of runs. Is also quite adept at fielding his position at first base. Draws his fair share of walks. Can also play in the outfield. Strikes out a bit too much, so he will need to curb his penchant for the whiff in order to maximize production in the big leagues. Is not a very fast runner (nor a great athlete).
Long Range Potential: Solid slugging first baseman.
