JB and Twins Fan From A Far - great job. I could not agree with you more. Basically Mauer's value from his contract was based on him catching a majority of games. Mauer continues to decline in the number of games he is catching. In reality, Mauer is playing more games at other positions than catching. I guess, based on the "experts", that makes him very durable. I don't understand that logic, but others do. In addition, Mauer's power is never going to reach the one year wonder, won't even come close. Mauer is nothing more than a slap hitting singles hitter who does a great job of getting on base. I don't understand how you can keep comparing Mauer to other catchers when in reality he catches less than half the games. If you start comparing Mauer to other 1B and DH players, looks fairly average to me. Just my opinion.
