The fact that Minnesota has both Buxton and Correa in the same lineup, man, it still feels like I'm dreaming

[@AndThatsBaseball]

Top 2 picks, 2 most successful, now, both Twins. Sounds pretty sweet to me

[@Luzion]

too bad he leaving already, overrated

[@AndThatsBaseball]

Too bad the twins suck and couldn’t make the playoffs in an awful division even with Correa being the best offensive shortstop in baseball

[@Luzion]

@@AndThatsBaseball i would take healthy royce lewis over correa lmaooo waste of money we could spend on pitching

[@AndThatsBaseball]

Idk what more you want from correa, he was the best player on your team this year

[@jman13jb]

Hope he finds a good ball club he can thrive in and play in Post Season Baseball again. Twins weren't the best option, as an Astros fan he probably should have stayed but it was his choice. I love JP though he definitely gonna be special for this team in years to come.

[@AndThatsBaseball]

Astros fans getting to go from Correa to Pena while I'm stuck with IKF is truly unfair to me and I will be angry about it now.

I REALLY like this “where are they now?” prospect theme. Maybe you can make more in the future.

[@AndThatsBaseball]

Thanks, I appreciate the support! I’m definitely gonna have a “10 years ago” series where I look back at MLB events. KTO has been doing that for the NFL for years now and it’s a killer series, I want to do that but for baseball

[@OmegaTyrant]

Damn I didn't realize Correa has averaged over 7 rWAR per 162, that's higher than guys like Machado, Soto, Arenado, Acuna, Harper, Vlad, and J-ram have, yet it never seems like he is talked about as a top ten player like those guys are. Though it is worth mentioning that Fangraphs does view him a lot less enthusiastically, particularly by defense, having over 8 less fWAR, though 31 fWAR by the end of your age 27 season with a 5.7 fWAR per 162 average is nothing to scoff at.

[@AndThatsBaseball]

He just needs to be on the field

[@Matt17131]

[@ethanniedorowski116]

Agreed just one year 155 or 162 keep dreaming I know but I'd love to see it

[@ParamoreFAV3]

Damn who knows how many playoff games he’d have under his belt had he stayed and been good with Houston. I know it’s not unheard of, but for a top prospect to be drafted and not make their debut for 9 years? That’s crazy. With no injury history? Life is crazy.

[@michaelwolf6424]

Just two years after a breakout season with 33 HRs at Tampa Bay in 2021, Mike Zunino was traded to Cleveland. He started out well but slowly slid towards the Mendoza line with a minimum amout of power. A totally different player. The Guardians finally gave up on Zunino and released him. Whether he makes it back to the Show remains to be seen. At 32, he may have peaked. A good kid and a UFla legend, he had a decent career but fell short of real stardom.

[@joshuaweiss8280]

Cubs don’t win the World Series without Almora tagging up from 2nd, he was also never the same after hitting a ball that ended up injuring a little girl in the crowd. Really great guy and I hope he can get back into baseball, he deserves it.

[@jacksonpowers3947]

Unfortunately, I’m a twins fan and man do I love watching buxton play. I’m happy we locked him down with a long contract, but I’m terrified that his career his gonna end up being like a David wright career. And the thing is it would be even worse because we haven’t even seen ONE full year of buxton playing yet. I’m honestly losing faith in him and it makes me extremely sad because he’s a mvp caliber player but he just cannot stay on the field for a full year.

[@rationalconservative386]

Playing outkast in the background while talking about Max Fried...

[@AndThatsBaseball]

My friend who did that part is from Atlanta

[@christianjames92]

Imo if the player makes it to the majors then he can't be a bust. The odds of any minor leaguer making is astronomically low.

[@AndThatsBaseball]

I understand that line of thinking but I feel like top 10 picks are expected to at least make some impact at the big league level. Someone like Dahl, for example, is tough to call a bust cuz he at least contributed for a little bit, but someone like Zimmer never really did anything and was drafted a couple picks ahead of a star pitcher. Anything beyond the top 20 picks or so and it gets really random really fast. Hard to call any non first rounder who makes the league a bust imo.

[@Skatr]

“Maybe, just maybe, Correa can help Minnesota beat the Yankees” 2 months later: “man, that Jeremy Peña kid is having fun in the playoffs? I’m opting out!” - Correa, probably

Correa doing the pregame show while the Yankees start IKF at shortstop is the most comedic part of this

Best part of Buxton being the best centerfielder In the history of Minnesota twins, is that he doesn’t play centerfield at all because they prefer his mediocre bat over his injury risk….

[@tato2493528]

buxton is the most fascinating player since bo jackson. dude is unbelievably toolsy

[@caseyquinn9282]

Where does this come from? This dude just said he has a legit shot at the HOF!? And it’s not just that he can’t stay healthy, even his 162 game average is .240 with 28 home runs. He’s fun to watch but so was Shane Victorino but nobody called him the best player in the game.
