People are setting aside Mauer's chance for the HOF too quickly. As primarily a catcher, the man has 3 batting titles (no other AL catcher has even one), an MVP when he lead not only in BA, but OBP and SLG%. It had been 30 years since someone did that in the AL,that being another HOFer George Brett. He also has 3 GG, 6 silver sluggers and a career line of .311/.393/.448 (129 OPS+). He's 4th in career BA for catchers, he's second in OBP, he's 9th in WAR and OPS. All those things matter to voters. Voter being people who don't hold the disdain for Mauer so many Twins fans do. So yeah, he had a bad 2014 and 2015 after sustaining a concussion, but players have those sometimes, even HOFers. So, we'll see. Really doesn't matter though. Hopefully he just finishes his career strong with the Twins.
