I think he's a good player but moving to 1st base (good for longevity) hurts his case, doesn't it? Not to mention, his strikeout rate has been increasing the past few years with last year almost a 4% increase (17.5%). Dan Gladden was saying the other day on the radio, Mauer hardly strikes out. A few years ago, I would have agreed with that statement though. So what do you guys think, is his star fading?
