# Broke in at age 25 (with Omaha), and vaulted to stardom fairly late (at age 27) with Vancouver. Became a sensation when he and Eduardo Lopez signed mega-deals with Atlantic City. Correa was an outstanding left-handed pitcher, who put up a good string of solid 4-5 WAR seasons before breaking down at age 34. He's going to be an interesting case, because his career was relatively short. If he'd had two years earlier, and another two years, the WAR totals (and win totals) would look better, but the fact was that during his run he was highly coveted. Voters, what say you?

If you are going to have a career that short you need to be outerworldly during those years to be HOF for me. While correa was good, he didn't rise to that level.
