Where's the Correa love?
#1

Where's the Correa love?
This board almost makes the collective baseball and cardboard worlds eternally sticky when the Bryants, Gallos, etc. of the world get called up, but not a peep when the No. 1 pick from the 2012 draft and one of the Top-5 prospects in the game gets called up?

Is it an oversight? Do people hate the Astros that much? No faith in the kid? Is it because he only scores a 65 of 80 for power and chicks still secretly dig the long ball?

Personally, I'm not an Astros fan, but I think it's awesome that they're competing and this year have already added their first and second round picks from 2012 to the 25-man roster.

And this week they'll be adding 5 of the top 80 draft picks to an already stacked system.

Maybe their aggressiveness and success will motivate my Twins to treat their prospects the same way. Then I can watch Jose Berrios pitch every 5 days instead of Mike Pelfrey.

Would be nice to see Mr. Buxton in the bigs in the next, you know, 5 or 10 years.

Whenever the Twins get around to it.

I'm pumped, I've been holding him in a fantasy keeper league for a couple of years

Don't own any of his cards though

I think he'll be great! Glad to see him get the call already & even more glad to see the Astros #1 in the AL West with the Rangers only 3.5 Games Behind.
PC=Giancarlo Stanton, Kemp, Longoria, Tulowitzki, Griffey Jr, Pujols, Jeter, Randy Johnson, Helton, Biggio, Bagwell, Chipper Jones, Votto..
I trade for similar cards.

My little stockpile is happy at this news, but sadly I got rid of all autos too soon.

I think Correa has great potential, but sadly the hobby potential is limited by his fanbase in Houston.
Now, if the Astros keep on winning, we'll be seeing a lot of news and a price hike in cards. He seems to be legit.

Nice! All of mine are pretty much the low end ones ... wasn't lucky enough to pull anything great and waited too long to get anything good at a decent price.

I just found it odd how much attention Bryant got and Gallo got on this board, but Correa (who arguably is just as good of a prospect, if not better) got virtually no attention.
