[edit] Major League career
In 2003, Correia became the first player taken in the 2002 draft to reach the Major Leagues, and in 2004, Baseball America named him the organization's number six prospect. Correia split the 2004 and 2005 seasons between the Giants and the minor leagues, and making 12 big league starts and 16 relief appearances between the two seasons.
Going into the 2006 season, Correia competed for the Giants' fifth starter spot with Brad Hennessey and Jamey Wright. Although Correia pitched well in Spring training, Wright eventually won the spot, and Correia began the season in AAA with the Fresno Grizzlies. Correia was called up to the Giants in April due to injuries and poor performance by the team's bullpen, and has primarily been used in middle relief.
Correia rejoined the Giants' starting rotations in August 2007, and has far exceeded expectations to this point. In seven starts (40 innings), he has a 1.80 ERA.[1]
