No one will say it. Correa was not a good leader type ballplayer. And his best days are behind him. Someone mentioned Miranda. Correa took him under his wing. When he was going good it was all joy and kumbaya. When he struggled it was like Miranda had cooties and he distanced himself leaving a young guy with more questions than answers. And he's not the only one. So thumbs down all you want. Because I know for a FACT that was the clubhouse culture that CAPTAIN CORREA brought to the Twins. Baseball is hard to excel at under good conditions. Once doubt sets in or pressure gets ratchted up, its even harder. No one ever asks the hard questions. And even if they do get asked, they wouldn't be answered honestly. Just like post game Rocco. As a group, if Twins players were asked what type of guy was Correa and was he a good leader? The responses would be positive. Behind closed doors or off the record, different story. And thats from multiple players that I had a conversation with. Now that he's no longer a Twin they can relax. And dont say he held players accountable. He liked you if you were going good, if not. Then you were ignored. And he wasnt held accountable for his own play. Ie lack of hustle, or moving runners. He made a lot of heads up plays but was he great? No. It's just that he's better than anyone over the last 10 years or so. Same goes for Correa himself. I wouldn't be surprised if does really well back in Houston. He's not THE guy there. So he can just go out and play. And all the "they're grown ass men" comments. A good leader helps to guide folks. Inspires them with words and actions. A captain isn't just a captain when things are going good. Thats not a captain. Thats a cheerleader. A good captain takes charge when the sht hits the fan. And at the trade deadline, thats what happened. What did Correa do? He abandoned ship. He wasnt going to be part of any rebuild. Captain Smith at least went down with his ship. No trade clause. Thats hilarious. Leader my ass.
