Is Joe Mauer overrated?

[babales]

beat me to it. i was looking up stats for the amount of stolen bases they allow. posada doesn't even rank since he's been a DH a lot this season. martinez was the 2nd worst in all of MLB

Exactly. One can quote a thousand different players' hitting stats, doesn't mean any of them make for an effective catcher.

 

[babales]

Mauer gave up 6 SBs in a game a couple weeks back...I dunno where the SB% and all that is kept.

Who was on the mound?

Okay...I'll take Suzuki as a top 5 and no more.

i'm putting olivo in my top 5, probably top 3

.302, 9 HR, 30 RBI, 29 runs
49 games, 16 SB against, 18 CS, .529%

Probably puts Suzuki at #6

That is a pretty legit line right there.

Brian McCann, Victor Martinez, and Jorge Posada...they all say you're wrong off the top of my head.

Y. Molina is having a sub par OF year thus far, however he is the best DF catcher in the game. .515% CS rate and 30+ pick offs at 1B thus far in his career.

Can this thread be deleted or is that against his consititutional rights?

mauer is probably rated right where he should be. he calls a great game handles an immature staff, and is still a huge threat; his job from my point of view is to keep the bases occupied for the real power hitters on the team.

Took the words right out of my mouth. Hes a catcher, hes not really that fast he is going to ground into double plays. He is having an off year by his standards but if he hits .300-.320 and has 10 homers and 80-100 RBI's hes earing his keep for sure. If he doesnt reach those numbers this year chances are he will almost every other year.

 

[sellinit]

Not over-rated, hes a catcher and it isnt too often that you see a catcher being the #1 source of offense on the team, while making the most money on the team.
