    He should crack the top 50 by midseason if healthy

    I'm praying for a breakout top ten player level season for Correa. Let's hope the back issue isn't cronic.

    Compared to any roster move, he alone has the potential to improve the roster to be the favorite to win it all if he plays to the level we thought he was going to progress to before last season.

    Tuve at 15 is kind of an insult imo.

    It feels like it. But then looking at the list above, and considering even slightly skepticism post-injury on decreased running / increased odds of re-injury or anything like that, who would you drop in favor of him? The only one I'd consider is Machado. Otherwise, it's all reasonable..

    Didnt even look at the list before. Machado for sure. Past merit alone(pre-injury), should have him in the top 10. I really do think Lindor is ranked too high but all in all, top 10 is pretty hard to crack. Love Bregman and wouldnt bat an eye if they swapped their rankings.

    Sure, but again, "past merit should have him in the top 10"...for whom? Sounds like you're saying Bregman, Lindor, and Machado. That still puts him at 12. What other 2 would you move out? (Also, if none of those other guys had significant injuries last year...how do you not consider it for Altuve? It's just reality.)

    Again, the list of top 10 is a tough one to crack and it's not necessarily who I would replace and move out, it's more like hes interchangeable with anybody in the top 10 imo. The list looks like it's weighted towards younger players(at least position players) anyway, so I kind of get it.

    Correa gets in that top 10 by seasons end.

    Gotcha. Yeah interchangeable makes sense. I'm with you on that. Just hard to argue, sadly. It makes me feel happy he got an MVP award when he did...he deserved it, but a lot of these guys can win in any given year.

    If he does, we might set some offensive records

    Why is Kluber/Ramirez/Lindor so strange? Who would you put above them, and how would you rank them?

    They are all great but i would think an astro would be ranked ahead at least one of them.

    Which one?

    Verlander over Kluber is about the only one I can see being reasonable.

    I agree with that one the most. Altuve over either of thier infielders wouldnt suprise me either.

    Based on last year alone I agree

    I'd take Altuve, Bregman and Correa over Ramirez moving forward...just something about Ramirez screams that last year was by far his career year to me
