So, he has a sore neck. Is this different from his issues last season? Wasn't it pain in his middle back last season?
If Correa goes on DL, call up Tanielu as insurance. Most games you won't play him. White plays 1st base, Gurriel 3rd, Breggie at SS. Not impressed yet with Diaz. Tanielu can DH some games.
Or Casey Candeale. Yep. Who the hell knows what this is now? Hopefully nothing, he just slept on it wrong. Right?
Don't care about him missing games, Bregman and Diaz can play SS, Yuli and Diaz can play 3rd. Him being fragile at this point is a huge neon red flag. Far more alarming long term.
One day at a time fellas. Good grief. Sore neck turned career threatening on clutchfans. I get that he’s had a platter of injuries but some of these posts are embarrassing.
I think it's because Dallas had a sore neck from "sleeping wrong" then he ends up with a bad back and a 1300s plague.
Tanielu probably won't be the guy if Correa goes on the IL. Tanielu isn't on the 40 man roster. Hinch said he hurt it during a rundown a few days ago in Florida and came out of the game early.
Reed is literally the only other infielder on the 40 man, so I highly doubt we add a position player even if he starts on the DL. We still have good enough coverage on the infield to handle Correa being out a few days. Yuli, Diaz and Bregman can move around. White has played plenty of 3B in the minors, Kemp has played at 2B. A long term injury to one of our infielders could force the team to consider adding Mayfield or Tanielu, but not this type of injury.
It doesn't seem clear what type of injury were dealing with in terms of the future. Yes, neck soreness all by itself seems minor, but combined with the others he has suffered makes the overall picture very uncertain.
Unless it is much more serious than indicated, I don't think the neck soreness should add to worries about Correa. If you had worries prior to this, you should still worry. If you didn't, this shouldn't put you over the edge. I'm a little concerned with the back. Other stuff, not so much. If he was a pitcher, my view would be different.
Or maybe he shouldnt be gaming for 8 hours a day ? Staring at a 19'' computer screen for 8 hours cant be the best for the cervical muscles ay?
Yep. Prior to acquiring Diaz, their intention was to have Gurriel move into Marwin’s role and White play 1B (presumably with Kemp as the default DH). So if they ended up that way it wouldn’t be a big deal. This is an ancillary benefit of Kemp, Marisnick, and White being out of options resulting in 13 position players. I think they’d only add a position player if there was another injury.
I wouldn't trade the Luhnow/Hinch combo for any other GM/Manager in baseball But the problem with them, as another poster wrote a couple of weeks ago, Correa could have been literally cut in half by a combine harvester, and our front office would say it is nothing serious and he will be ok
If Correa continues to be injury prone, is he still on our "must sign" list in the long-term? Or would we rather keep a core of Bregman, Altuve, Springer in tact? Basically it comes down to Springer vs Correa. Correa has the better upside but may never get there, due to health concerns. Springer is a great player but not a generational player. Def concerned about Correa's viability long-term. Age only makes the health issues worse, not better.
