1. Durability

AJ Pierzynski is known for 2 things.....being a complete jack@ss that is probably the least like player by his peers and for being a catcher that plays a lot of games by catcher standards. He's played in 134, 138 and 128 from  08-10. Mauer played in 21 more games in that span.

Can you name a catcher that plays 162?

2. Offense

Fantasy baseball is based on offense. A ton of lists before the start of the year had Mauer as 1 of the top 2 catchers in fantasy and probably every list ranked him in the top 4 (With VMart, Poser, and McCann)

3. Power

He had 9 Hr the year after his power breakout (in a pitcher's park) and 9 before....if the Twins paid him based on a career year how is that his fault?

4. He's hurt

Not a good basis to declare anything. Buster Posey is crap right just b/c his final numbers won't match his rookie year?

Its one year....happens again, you got an argument

Is there a bigger wimp in professional sports right now than Joe Mauer? I don't think so. HarryWarden Aug 26, 10:21

Aww...did Mauer steal your lunch money? {nm} Paul2k Aug 26, 10:25

Nope, instead he's stolen 23M from the Twins for the next 8 years of constant injuries and no personality {nm} HarryWarden Aug 26, 10:28

The Twinkies were willing to pay him that much for that long. Blame the GM and ownership for throwing that much money at someone who plays Paul2k Aug 26, 10:35

He wasn't willing to learn to play First Base until recently HarryWarden Aug 26, 10:42

How do you know that he doesn't give a crap about playing hard? That he doesn't offer leadership? Do you talk to him? Are you in the locker Paul2k Aug 26, 10:58

But at least Cal was out there playing every game. I'd even take someone like Brett Favre, though a diva, you could count on him to play {nm} HarryWarden Aug 26, 11:03

Must be nice to throw an opinion out there without ever backing it up with anything useful {nm} alfpaul Aug 26, 11:14

So you support money-grubbing players who don't give it their all? Normal people would be fired if they were out as much as he has been {nm} HarryWarden Aug 26, 11:15

Nope I support the free market system that rewarded a guy based on his play...and I reward opinions that are backed up by something {nm} alfpaul Aug 26, 11:16

Backed up? Just look at the number of games he has missed. There's no excuse for that when you're being paid like he is. HarryWarden Aug 26, 11:19

Do you think they'll fire the coach? {nm} HarryWarden Aug 26, 11:27

eh, not from the area and don't follow the team alfpaul Aug 26, 11:33

I wonder how long it'll take them to fire Gardenhire. The Vikings fired Childress even though he had won the division the year before. HarryWarden Aug 26, 11:14

if he gets fired, cubs should pick him up {nm} islander Aug 27, 06:56

If he plays hurt, goes 0 for 4 and the injury gets worst, how does that help the team? {nm} Antibody Aug 26, 12:53
