OFFICIAL: CARLOS CORREA HAS FRACTURED FIBULA

Posted on June 26, 2014 by | Comments Off on OFFICIAL: CARLOS CORREA HAS FRACTURED FIBULA

lancasterjethawksnewAfter much caution, it was announced on Wednesday that Jethawks shortstop Carlos  Correa does, in fact, have a fractured fibula. The injury will keep the 2012 top overall draft pick out of action for the remainder of the California League season. The next likely action for the 19-year old Puerto Rican star will be in the Arizona Fall League.

Correa underwent successful arthroscopic surgery on his right fibula on Wednesday in Houston. The injury occurred Saturday night as Correa was sliding into third base in Lake Elsinore.

The unfortunate slide came in the opening days of the second half of the California League season and Correa’s stellar play had made him a likely candidate to move up to AA. At his young age and with his brilliant skills, this should prove to be a brief setback for Correa. It is hard to say where he will start the 2015 season, but he is still on the fast track to make the major league club at age 21 or younger.

SS Carlos Correa was injured Saturday night while sliding into third base on a triple at Lake Elsinore. The top overall pick of the 2012 First Year Player Draft was carried off the field and the extent of the injury will be known after being evaluated in Houston this week.

A post on Bleacher Report has several quotes from Correa, Astros’ GM Jeffrey Luhnow and injury expert Will Carrol.

The 19-year old from Puerto Rico was enjoying a great season at the plate and in the field and was not far off from being promoted to AA. Correa has a slash line of .325/.416/.510 and has drawn raves for his play at shortstop.

CLAs April came to a close and the calendar turned to May, two of the biggest stories in the Cal League involved injuries. Lancaster SS Carlos Correa missed seven games with a sore shoulder, but he returned to the field tonight in the Jethawks’ 6-3 loss to San  Jose. But earlier in the week, unfortunately, Giants OF Mac Williamson had to have Tommy John surgery and won’t play anymore this season.

2012 top overall pick Carlos Correa was in the Lancaster Jethawks’ starting lineup tonight after missing seven games with a shoulder injury. Correa DH’d and went 0-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in the Lancaster’s 6-3 victory over San Jose at The Hangar.

Drafted out of Puerto Rico in 2012 at the age of 17, Correa has had four minor league stops, with last season at Quad Cities being his first full pro season. There the lanky, athletic shortstop showed his advanced skills at his young age with a line of .320/.405/.467.

In Correa’s absence, Carlos Perdomo has played SS for the Jethawks and he has had a good run with a .375 batting average and a homerun that came off of a Rancho Cucamonga Quake named Kershaw.

With the win, the Jethawks improved to 17-12 and pulled to within a half-game of first-place Lake Elsinore, pending the outcome of the Storm’s game with Inland Empire.

CORREA PACES JETHAWKS TO 8-2 WIN

Posted on April 4, 2014 by | Comments Off on CORREA PACES JETHAWKS TO 8-2 WIN

AstrosCarlos  Correa was the top overall pick in the 2012 draft and he showed why on Thursday night with three hits and four RBIs as Lancaster won its Cal League opener by a score of 8-2 over Lake Elsinore.

Correa batted in the #3 hole and went 3-for-4 with 3 singles and 4 RBIs to lead an 11-hit Jethawk attack. 2B Anthony Kemp and RF Danry Vasquez added two hits apiece as Lancaster got to 3 of 5 Storm pitchers.

2012 was the first year that the draft had been changed to the current system of pool money for each club rather than the old system of recommended salaries for each slot. The Astros were masterful in spreading their money over several top picks, including Correa (#1), Lance McCullers Jr. (#41) and Nolan Fontana (#61).

Correa played in 117 games in Quad Cities last season and batted .320/.405/. 467.

ASTROS SYSTEM RICH IN PROSPECTS

Posted on February 1, 2014 by | Comments Off on ASTROS SYSTEM RICH IN PROSPECTS

AstrosThe Houston Astros have famously switched to full-on rebuild mode, after languishing in the shadow of a 2005 World Series appearance. A star-studded team lost to the Chicago White Sox that year, and the club held on to some big names in the next few years, trying to get back to the Fall Classic, but ultimately a huge move was made.  Continue reading →
