For me, I think we all believe he will follow the money and go somewhere else (probably LA, NY, or CHI) as soon as he has a chance anyways. We have a great lineup without him, but our rotation could use help now and past this year. If he can get get us that without giving up multiple prospects, I think it should be considered. ***** He wants to be a Yankee........trade him before he becomes a FA |

I'd agree if he had been with us all season. But we've shown we don't need him, but could really use pitching this year and for sure past this year. I’ve always thought of Bregman as a middle infielder who plays third base due to the seniority of Correa. The offense has its share of good bats. It makes you question how badly they need him. Personally I consider Correa an upgrade defensively at Short compared to Bregman. But even if you consider them equal, you cover short with Bregman, then what do you do at third? To make things equal, you'll want a bat that's as serious as Correa's and someone who brings the agility that Bregman has at the hot corner. Else you've downgraded your lineup and/or defense.
And you can never have too many good bats.

I remember when Bregman was drafted, scouts graded him as best suited for 2B. I think he’d be an upgrade over Altuve there, but then where would you put Altuve? I wish they’d try Correa at 3B. I think he’d thrive there. |

Yeah,. she brought him out of his shell and these strange injuries have popped up ever since. These "new things" he tried is probably why he has missed one third of the last two seasons . He and his career would be better off if he had never met this gold-digging bimbo |

I think he’d thrive there. I'm sure someone will say first base (a horrible idea). Correa at third would not be a bad idea. We might even see something like that if Bregman is injured, and have Straw play short. But they'll probably keep Carlos at short and use Straw (or someone else) at third. I really like the idea of having some of the minors talent working other positions rather than just one. Being able to move some of the pieces around makes life easier. |

2nd base is perfectly fine for Altuve. He's typically solid to a little above-average there.

That's a nice public service you provided there, Frogface. But the image was kinda big so FTFT. Note: in this instance FTFY means Fixed That For You, not Feck That, Feck You.Yes, but what does FTFT mean?  TMDA Too many damned acronyms |

Tulowitzki just retired after only having spent 3 seasons out of 11 playing more than 130 games. I can't help but feel Correa is that same type of player.  I love his production but not at the future cost it would be to keep him with his injuries. Springer has also shown some bouts but hammy's are more common, Correa's back scares me. |

The actually worth of Correa is deceiving though as he is healthy playoff time.
Career playoffs:
32 games, 8 HRs, 24 RBIs, .278 avg.
WS- 2 HRs, 5 RBIs in 7 games.
If we could keep him at a discounted rate then his playoff performance alone would be worth any time off in the regular season. Maybe his injuries will scare other teams away from offering him too much.

The unexplained off the field injuries leave that in doubt. He lied about how he got the cracked rib. We either need to offer him an extension in the off seasohn or trade him. If he doesn't like the offer, deal him while he is healthy and before he becomes a FA. |
