Carlos Correa is ranked 53rd among hitters on the standard scoring player rater. 84th overall. This is what I had typed up, but got sidetracked How is he a borderline top 25 offensive fantasy player? In my points league he's like 42nd over all and 8th at SS. In 6 cats he ranks, emphasis on the word 'ranks' BA - 79th OBP - 56th HR - t47th R - t-28th RBI - t-23rd SB - t-103rd No one drafted him to be 2nd-3rd tier at his position. Even if an owner had an above average draft, he's probably the biggest influence when it comes to a team's success or failure Link to post Share on other sites
EmbargoLifted 915 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Correa is ranked 62nd overall in standard 5x5 formats. That is without an adjustment for position scarcity (guys who hit like a stud OF or 1B are really hard to find at SS for example). 3 of 6 months into the season he's under performing his 'baseline' at the moment .. but there's still a lot of season left. Think 80 more games batting in the middle of one of the best lineups in baseball with a career .285/.360/.485 (wrc+ 135) line. If Correa being a few HR, hits, and RBI off pace 3 months into the season is the biggest problem your fantasy team is dealing with at the moment, then you are likely positioned extremely well in your league/and well on your way to winning the championship.

In my OBP league he is the 47th overall ranked player, 29th ranked offensive player and 8th ranked SS. Yeah I didn't want him to be nor expect him to be the 8th ranked SS when I drafted him but my point was he's not really hurting anyone's team as his stats are still really good.

Well, that's kinda silly because you don't draft someone at Correa's ADP to be your "biggest problem" Or even a small problem for that matter. You draft a player that high to be one of -the best guys on your team-. When I said he's the 53rd hitter and 84th overall standard scoring, I was citing ESPN's player rater, which is purely mathematical. I mean, you can argue that math. But at least it's not based on some guy's random opinion. Link to post Share on other sites

But at least it's not based on some guy's random opinion. Same convo about Paul Goldschmidt a couple of weeks ago. Rizzo, Bryant, Trea, Stanton, Arenado 2 weeks ago, Votto, Hoskins, Bellinger, Altuve, a lot of guys were underperforming early on. These are guys who were drafted in the top 10/20/25. Plenty have been relative disappointments. Looking at Goldy/Altuve/Arenado/Bellinger show you just how much a hot week or two can turn around things fast. Link to post Share on other sites
Fiveohnine 1,516 Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 ^the fact that anyone would even consider comparing this guy to Goldy is proof of how overrated Correa has been for the last couple years. Like I said earlier, Lindor (let alone Goldy) has been clearly better for a long time and was still drafted behind Correa. Link to post Share on other sites

Like I said earlier, Lindor (let alone Goldy) has been clearly better for a long time and was still drafted behind Correa. At what point is anything I said comparing Correa to Goldschmidt in terms of production? What I compared was how owners were crapping on their production date to a certain point in the season, and those concerns were alleviated in relatively short order. Is correa overrated? I guess it depends. He's not overrated by orders of magnitude. No, he shouldn't be drafted in the top 10. Top 20? Probably so. I'm not sure what "clearly better for a long time" means in reference to Lindor vs. Correa. 2016 Lindor/2016 Correa 158 games, 99 R, 30 2B, 15 HR, 78 RBI, 19 SB, .301/.358/.435 152 games, 76 R, 36 2B, 20 HR, 96 RBI, 13 SB, .274/.361/.451 2017 Lindor/2017 Correa 159 games, 99 R, 44 2B, 33 HR, 89 RBI, 15 SB, .273/.337/.505 109 games, 82 R, 25 2B, 24 HR, 84 RBI, 2 SB, .315/.391/.550 Even their 162 game career averages are pretty close. Lindor 103 R, 39 2B, 26 HR, 86 RBI, 18 SB, .292/.351/.485 Correa 96 R, 37 2B, 29 HR, 111 RBI, 12 SB, .285/.363/.495 Lindor didn't rocket up the draft charts because before last season he was more very good than great. Then in 2017 he explodes for 33 HR but the BA dropped off 30 points from his career average. Most people probably wanted a "prove it" year from Lindor to decide whether he's more like the 2016 guy (who wasn't even close to 20 HR) or the 2017 guy (that was all of a sudden a slugger in a year HR's were way up). People also noticed that Correa was easily outpacing Lindor until getting hurt. Correa continued it in the postseason hitting .288 with 5 HR and slugging ~.570. After his #'s last year in a season shortened by 50 games + how he looked once he returned from injury + how he did in the postseason + the fact he was going to be hitting in the middle of the best lineup in baseball, you're really surprised that people drafted Correa over Lindor? This season may well change things. There's half a season left to play, but as of now I full believe Lindor should head into 2019 with a higher ADP. I do not think that was the case coming into this season. Link to post Share on other sites

This season may well change things. There's half a season left to play, but as of now I full believe Lindor should head into 2019 with a higher ADP. I do not think that was the case coming into this season. I agree with the tenor of this post. While Lindor was fantastic last year, Correa looked like one of the five best hitters in baseball before hitting the DL. He was obviously great in the postseason, and is hitting behind some true studs. I think it was reasonable for folks to give Correa the edge for those reasons. However, while an argument could always be made for Franky based on his consistent batting average, runs scored, and (most importantly) steals, he’s developed true 35+ HR power. While keeping his average. Dude’s a superstar and probably a top 10 fantasy option moving forward. It’s important to remember, though, that Correa is a year younger than Lindor and still growing. He’s shown signs of greatness at a very young age, as recently as May, and I believe could eventually settle into the top 12 range should he find consistency/health (which I believe he will). The disappearance of his running will hold him back, but in that lineup, every other one of his stats will be well accounted for. Lindor will deservedly have a higher ADP next year, and I think the debate between these two guys is settled. But that doesn’t mean Correa sucks or doesn’t have the talent to improve his line this year. I’d still be happy to take Correa just about anywhere in the second round while hoping to catch him the season he puts it all together. Should he not, at least his floor isn’t terrible.
