I Suddenly Like Carlos Correa

[MFS62]

Maybe not for the Mets, but he said something we've been saying for years:

Derek Jeter, how many Gold Gloves did he win?," Correa asked. "Five, I think he won. ... Derek Jeter didn't deserve any."

This may not go over well with MFY fans, since they are interested in signing a free agent shortstop.

With Gleyber Torres moving back to second base, the Yankees are expected to try to sign one one of the big-name shortstops.

Earlier today, I heard Buster Olney on ESPN radio asked what he thinks about Correa's comment. He agreed and said many players of Jeter's era said similar things about Jeter's defense.

Yeah Correa is pushing the buttons. I dig it. Get this guy a Mets hat.

Kinda set at shortstop. Can he catch?

[vtmet7]

we do have vacancies at pretty much every defensive position other than SS/1B, so if he's willing to move to a new position, I would be onboard with Correa...



a good defensive shortstop can probably play any upright position on the diamond, and still be better or equal to someone with experience there...

[metsmarathon]

he'd be a pretty damned find 3b.

[Fman99]

I looked him up earlier, aside from a single AA game in 2015 where he played 3B, all of his ABs have been at either SS or a DH. But, I mean, it's not unprecedented for a guy of his size and game type to slide over to 3B.

Also couldn't Baez play third and Correa second?

I'm happy to see your embrace of Brandon Nimmo.

I just assumed in your scenario the Mets also sign Jon Gray, Scherzer, and re-sign Stroman.
