Since so much of Yuli's power is derived from his hair, I'm thinking it's time for CC to ditch the honey badger look and try something different. Bregman should probably grow a pornstache while we're at it.
you don't want to move correa just yet. everyone slumps in baseball. as long as yuli keeps doing what he's doing its great. no matter where he is in the order. correa is going to get it going, and yuli is ultra valuable where he is.
Correa hasn't looked good in quite some time, going back to last season. Reddick has been getting on base a lot lately. And Altuve is Altuve. I'd like to see better production from the clean up hitter. We're leaving too many guys on base. I understand Correa is our prized jewel going forward and for the mental side of development it might be a bad idea to move him down the order. That being said, we have a serious opportunity to do something special this season and if Correa doesn't pick it up relatively soon, we should really look at this option. So I agree with you it's not time "just yet." But it might come to that point if Correa doesn't snap out of it.
Moving Correa down the lineup is not a death sentence. Take some pressure off of him much like they did Springer, in fact swap the two for now and see what happens. Wow, NICE Mr. Reddick sir!
We're more than 20 games into the season now and Correa's swing hasn't looked good all year. He's hitting close to the mendoza line now and he's having trouble with breaking balls and off-speed stuff. I wanted to hope that this is just a problem with his mechanics or something but this has been a recurring theme for him going into last season. It seems like pitchers have him figured out and it's up to him to adjust to that and I hope he will but he shouldn't be hitting clean up right now, imo.
Moving correa down in the lineup would increase the pressure on him IMO. He already knows he is expected to be better, If you move him down, That will really compound his head problems. I'm not saying it can never be done, but In situations like this, you have to have patience. Think about how yuli started....
