sportsfreak2744 758 Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 After a very anemic regular season (4 HR in 58 games, .383 SLG, .119 ISO) he hits 6 HR in 13 postseason games with an 8:11 BB:K ratio. I was ready to write him off but considering the regular season was only 58 games and his postseason was *so* strong I'm still wondering how to value Correa for 2021 (and beyond). He only just turned 26 in September but is the upside still here? Frustrating that he was finally healthy (as far as we know) and yet still had such a confusing 2020. What do we think?

2ndCitySox 4,450 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 (edited) He's right around #10 for me. Good power but the league isn't lacking for homers. Essentially no steals. Injury prone. Hes a nice bat but nothing special IMO, considering how deep SS is. A very solid MI option. Or if you league has a U slot, not a bad one there either (can slot in as SS if an injury arises) Edited November 18, 2020 by 2ndCitySox 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

En Votto Veritas 485 Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 As it stands on NFC, 12 shortstops go within the first ~100 picks then there is a 30 pick gap. Correa is currently being drafted at #132 as the 14th SS off the board and sandwiched between Villar and Semien. Edman, Didi, and Cronenworth follow then there's a 50 pick gap. In a 12 team league most managers have a SS at this point and we're looking at less of a "what do you think of this guy" and more of a "what does your team need at this point in the draft" kind of a situation. Lots of 10-10 or 15-15 guys follow him, so if you are looking to address power without sacrificing AVG, Correa may be your guy. Ultimately, as @2ndCitySox said, Correa will likely be a MI/Util option for most and not a bad one at all. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kidtwentytwo 5,341 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Eh...he’s not going to be a MI unless you take a SS early then double down on him. He’s going to be a starting fantasy SS in the vast majority of redrafts Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He’s going to be a starting fantasy SS in the vast majority of redrafts Doubling down on Correa is ideally how I would target him, or at least get a good backup to pair with him. Correa has hit 20+ HR's in 4 of his 5 years (not counting 2020) despite only playing more than 110 games just once. He hit 21 HR's in 2019 in only 75 games. That's 40 HR power if he can stay healthy and put it together for a full year. Knowing his potential is the most frustrating thing about Correa though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If I took Correa as my starting shortstop I would probably take another SS a few rounds later as a hedge. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah it is always good to have back-up for sure. I took over a dynasty team last year that had both Correra and Willy Adames on it and ended up having Adames in my starting line-up a greater percentage of the time than Correra. I'm keeping Correra but I'm also hedging my bets keeping Adames as well. Or should I have worded that the other way around with Correra as my back-up? I agree if Correra could stay healthy it is still possible for him to return to his glory days but he is a gamble at this point as your full time starter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IcyBrood 8 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Correa is currently being drafted at the 14th SS off the board and sandwiched by the 2 awesome players Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sharpsquare 1 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 (edited) The Astro's are going to be making some lineup adjustments, could that include a Correa trade? Doesn't seem like the Astro's think they can bring him back once he becomes a FA and he seems intent to test the open market.

Magoo 1,511 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Would rather have Gregorius 10/10. Correa is still absurdly overrated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
