Joe Mauer...top 3 catcher this year? (1 Viewer)

[scottybo]

This guy is making a run for MVP and he just returned from a month on the DL.

I think he can emerge as a top 3 Catcher this year and you can't argue with these awesome stats so far:

56 ABs

12 Runs Scored

6 HRs

16 RBI

.429 AVG

.529 OBP

1.333 OPS

.804 SLG

**The preceding statement assumes that Joe Mauer remains healthy throughout the season**

Emerge? He was a top 3 catcher coming into 09 prior to the injury news.

Emerge? He was a top 3 catcher coming into 09 prior to the injury news.

I had him #1 on my catcher board prior to the season. Still pissed I passed on him for an 80 year old Vlad in BBT.

3 for 4, 2 Runs, 1 HR, 6 RBI today.

And what I meant was would he break the top 3 this year behind Martinez, Inge and Molina.

Possible best hitter in baseball this year=MVP

 

[pollardsvision]

Hmmmm. Guy with absolutely nothing in his past to suggest he can hit for power suddenly starts smacking a HR every 8 ABs?

He could finish top 3, but it'll be tough with a 50-game suspension.

 

[avoiding injuries]

He'd better pad his stats now. Wieters will be up shortly...

 

[scottybo]

Ok, Joe Mauer for MVP?

 

[MrPhoenix]

Whatever he hits, he destroys!

Scouts have been saying that his power was just waiting to come out. It's here, folks.
