Correa is fine. Just a bruised finger.

The Twins are calling up their top prospect Royce Lewis today now that the cheater Carlos Correa has been hit on the hand by a pitch and appears IL-bound. Correa owes me $1700 so I'm fine with this development
About Royce. Fangraphs has his "future" attributes as a 40 hit tool (not very good), 60 game power (very good), 70 raw power (elite), a current speed of 60 (very good), and fielding of 45 (adequate). This means this card would hit for mega power but with a smallish PCI and it will be faster on the basepaths than most and fine defensively.
Last year, they made Wander Franco an inning boss as soon as he came up, and it hadn't been planned beforehand. Hopefully they do something similar this year with Royce Lewis.
A buddy of mine that plays this game a lot (Jim the Flim) says there's no way there won't be a high diamond Lewis very shortly.
Lol you have a lot of knowledge about nothing important. Way too much effort here.

Pretty sure Royce Lewis is a made up person, he's been a prospect for at least 32 years at this point
HOF double play combo for the Mexican League. Royce Lewis and Brendan Rogers
I'll give ikasnu credit on Brendan Rodgers. He has always said he was [censored], even when he had a couple hot streaks last year and I called ikasnu out on it on the Rockies subreddit.
@Ikasnu_PSN Your assessment of Colton Welker if you don't mind? I want a bold prediction from a true Rockies fan.

If you think this is a lot of effort to put into something unimportant, remind me not to tell you about the novel I'm 2 chapters from completing that has a very low probability of ever getting published. That's a couple years of a lot of sleepness nights for a large text file no one cares about.

I've been so disgusted I've stopped looking at the minor leagues. Hard to get a beat on someone who hasn't played at the professional level, hopefully he's really good.
But yes BRod sucks.

Couple items to note, boys:
-Royce Lewis went 2-for-4 with a grand slam Friday in a win over the Guardians.
-In the 7 games he has played in since his call up, Royce Lewis has at least one hit in 6 of them -

You played some good ole Texas hold 'em with Correa and he didn't pay up?
After losing half my sports betting account balance on the Super Bowl in 2017, I decided I'd make it all back and then some by hitting on a hero bet: the World Series winner preseason prop. This was just before the Dodgers became the constant mega-favorite dynasty of all of baseball - they were like the 6th or 8th favorite or so headed into that year, but I had a lot of faith in Farhan Zaidi as well as their operating budget, so I threw down on that bet like a champ. Like Nostradamus.
7 or 8 months later, the Dodgers lose to Correa's merry band of trash can cheaters in game 7 of the world series. I want my payout and I want Correa and/or buzzer boy Altuve to write the check.
Ah yeah that's rough. One of the reasons I don't gamble.
You're probably smart. I have a crazy history of getting as close as you possibly can on big futures bets with big payouts, only for my team to fail super late.
Two additional examples:
In 2010, the Netherlands lost to Spain in the World Cup finals, by conceding the game-winner very late (I think in extra time). The Netherlands were fairly big underdogs in that Cup but I had made a decent bet on them to win it all before it started, because I felt the odds were just too good to pass up. They had crushed it in the Euros headed into the World Cup. But I lose on a goal in extra time
Bruh I'm Dutch and you just tore open a wound that took 10 years to heal. I still see Iniesta in my dreams.
That was brutal man. I watched that game at a Buffalo Wild Wings with like 5 of my buddies, and we were all pulling for clockwork orange. The table next to us was about 6 apparent Spain superfans, all wearing Spain gear. I had it set up with the bartender that if Holland scored, he'd immediately bring a full round of Heinekens to that table of Spain fans.
How would they have reacted, I wonder? On the one hand, a free imported beer for all of them, apropos of nothing, so they should be pumped. On the other hand, their team/country just lost the frickin world cup finals and before they can wipe their tears away they got some dude rubbing it in by sending them Dutch beers and lol'ing.
Sadly, we'll never know.
Good news though: they had a raffle during that game where you get a raffle ticket with each Bud beer you bought. I drank many such Buds and won the [censored] thing! It was a mini-refigerator (for beers) with World Cup and Budweiser logos painted all over it and a clear door. Not a bad consolation prize, but it wasn't worth no 4 grand either.
One year later we defeated Spain 5-1 smh

Great chance he flops. Average at best
He will have gone farther in baseball then this whole community. Imagine he gets to play for real. All we got is this video game. Either way props for beating the odds.

Sounds like Royce Lewis would have a card like… Trevor Story?
Pretty close, but more power (think Aaron Judge), less speed, and given that Story is now a Mendoza hitter, I'd hope better contact. Also, Story's card wouldn't be a prospect or future stars, it would be the "Albert Pujols" card type that are soon-to-come.
The "Albert Pujols" series of cards is for players that seem really good for a long time but then they sign for big money as a FA elsewhere, and immediately become a sub-replacement level player that the fanbase hates.
Judge-like Power? Do you even follow baseball. Lewis has been in the hyped and in the pipeline for a number of years and hasn’t broken through. I wish the guy all the best but don’t get ahead of yourself
It's not me, it's fangraphs. I do think they follow baseball, and they have his future power graded at 70.
Also wasn't Judge a much older rookie? If the kid's got real raw power, maybe it takes him a few years, just like it took Judge...?

Little known fact, Royce was born the same year as Derek Jeter.

Royce was playing great, sent him down to get more reps in at other positions.

He is a shortstop/athlete that is projected to have 20 HR type of power.

If the team thought much of Lewis, why did they sign Correra?
He is coming off of a two year injury. He is only 22 I believe.
-
Lewis could just end up another Jo Adell...im holding out Hope on Adell bc I have a PSA 10 RC of him lol
-
Lewis didnt get sent down because of performance. Correa has returned. Plus he is only 22.

Right? Judge was just a rookie 4 or 5 years ago and is already 30 years old.

Royce Lewis is a poorman Andrelton Simmons with the prospect hype of a Shawon Dunston. I need to see more contact. He’ll get a Diamond card though, you’re friend is right.
