Will Carlos Correa go down as the greatest shortstop ever?

[The Giant]

This kid is only 20 years old, and already so polished.

I believe he'll be the greatest shortstop ever.

I'm already planning on bumping this thread in 15 years.

[El Nino]

A guy in Houston will never be the greatest anything. Never heard of him.

[texhooper]

I mean I don't want to say this thread is ridiculous and pointless, but I thought it was pretty clear that he already was?

[The Giant]

Two very differing opinions thus far.

That's what makes SBR great.

[Ra77er]

Ozzie Smith played defense and that's what Andre Simmons does. Guy doesn't hit like Ozzie but I can still see the wizard at times.


So I would say this will be an interesting 15 years.

[The Giant]

R877er, I can't believe you're mentioning Ozzie Smith and Andrelton Simmons as we're talking about shortstop lore.

[Ra77er]

Oh my apologies Giant, carry on SS lore would be entertaining to read for sure.

[The Giant]

Currently I have Honus Wagner in the #1 position.

Don't go against me here, Ra77er.

[pattymayo]

this has the makings to be a classic thread

It will get bumped at least once every season

[El Nino]

#1 Greg Gagne
#2 Jehtaaaaaah
#3 Didi Gregorius

All of The Giants threads are classic.

[The Giant]

I don't think this thread will have legs, actually.

[pattymayo]

When Carlos hits a big HR in 2016 this thread will be bumped

I'm just happy to be a part of it

[jjgold]

Giants lets wait ok maybe until he gets like 3 world series??

Settle down young lad

[Ra77er]

He might very well be though.

[FlipsideRM]

Simmons best defensive SS in the game

[19th Hole]

Carlos Correa / the greatest shortstop ever
-Redundant/ Eponymic

[Big Bear]

better than Tulo?

[GUMMO77]

But can he ..............

[BigDeem5]

No.

[EVfollower]

My thoughts: Seems like a really bold statement made prematurely. Its been one season and not even completed yet.

[astro61200]

Anyone offering a future on Correa making the HOF? I got points!

[Sledge187]

I say yes.

[Big Bear]

possibly.

i know one thing.

he is 100X better than Derek Jeter in every single possible way.

Hitting home runs more frequently in the majors than he did before he was called up. Just hope the kid is laying off the juice.

all those hispanics are on something man.

lets just hope he doesn't get caught.

They say at the rate he is growing he is going to be too big to play SS in the next few years. So they have to move him to 3B or LF eventually.

[Bostongambler]

15 years? The Internet won't be around in 15 years. It's only a fad.

you are probably right.

[Sledge187]

Very true about the net.

[Mr KLC]

Astros prospect J.C. Correa, the younger brother of Astros shortstop Carlos Correa, was promoted to the High-A Asheville Tourists on Monday.

The younger Correa, also a shortstop, was drafted twice by the Astros. He was picked in the 33rd round of the 2018 draft out of Alvin Community College and again in the 38th round in 2019 out of Lamar. He has played in 56 games with Low-A affiliate Fayetteville Woodpeckers this season and had an .870 OPS, 28 walks and 30 strikeouts in 255 plate appearances. Correa led the club in runs (44) and hits (68) and was tied for second in RBIs (32).

[MinnesotaFats]

6 years in and Story still better year by year

[Al Masters]

I don't think this thread will have legs, actually.

RIP Giant

[DiggityDaggityDo]

I'm already planning on bumping this thread in 15 years.

Giant will be back in 3 years.

Can’t wait!!!

[19th Hole]

The Giant was a daily go-to.

Vaporized...Anyone have the backstory...


I remember when The Giant came waltzing in from Covers with
the little Canadian Seaweed.

Born on dates
1/19/12---1/21/12

[mpaschal34]

Correa won’t even end up in the top 100 of all time best shortstops.
