	Baseball Prospectus \| Articles \| Prospectus Today: Joe Mauer
		Mauer is going to eventually be a productive left-handed hitter; comparable to Mike Sweeney, with maybe a bit more power and patience.
		I just don't agree that Mauer is a future star behind the plate, and it has everything to do with his height.
		Mauer is listed at 6'4", and people that height or taller just don't have long, successful careers at the catching position.

		All three Mauer boys honed their swings with a device their father built to let them practice year-round, in the yard during the summer and in the basement during the Minnesota winter.
		The day Joe signed with the Twins (for a $5.15 million bonus), breaking Bobby Bowden's heart, his grandfather went on local TV and proclaimed that Joe had the best swing since Ted Williams and would get the Twins, then threatened with contraction, a new ballpark.
		"Joe's been the same since fifth grade, when he was playing with me and my high school buddies," says Jake, who broke in at Elizabethton with his little bro and will be in major league camp with him this spring.

	ESPN.com - Gammons: The cornerstone
		Joe Mauer played in only 35 games last year due to an injury to his left knee.

		Mauer batted.339 with 85 RBI between Class A Fort Myers and Double-A New Britain last season.

	ESPN.com: MLB - Joe Mauer
		The second-best player available was high school catcher Joe Mauer, with whom the Twins were very familiar, for he was a local boy, from St. Paul.

	Joe Mauer - NetShrine Discussion Forum
		For those of you who are unaware, Joe Mauer was the number 1 pick in last year's draft, a high school catcher from Minnesota.
		I think having Joe's older brother on the team with him is pure genius on the Twins part...
		Though Mauer was a Minnesota boy, choosing him was not just about signability and public relations: he was the best high school player available.

		Mauer was signed by Florida State as nothing more than a long shot in February.
		Jake Mauer's comments might be interpreted as nothing more as posturing because the Twins cannot negotiate with Joe until his high school season is over.

		Mauer, 21, has the highest slugging percentage on the team, and an approach to the game that has earned him accolades from coaches, teammates and fans.
		Mauer didn't disappoint fans when he returned to the lineup last month.
		That's when Mauer's dad, Jake, created a contraption he later named the "Quickswing." The device dropped balls down a tube from eye level and released them at waist level.

		Perhaps this is just the Twins fan in me talking, but when you say that Joe Mauer being 6'4" makes it unlikely he'll have a great career as a catcher and I look one inch down and see Hall of Fame catchers at 6'3", I have a hard time buying it.
		Joe Mauer is attempting to be a 6'4" Hall of Fame catcher, but at least he's got 28 (albeit not-so-great) tall guys who braved the waters before him.
		Joe's brother Jake might have a future as the next Denny Hocking in a few years if he's lucky, but it's still a nice story.

		Joe Mauer, the #1 overall pick in the 2001 draft, is living up to all the hype and expections so far, and is hitting so well in Double-A that he has me thinking about the future of Twins catching, even while the present includes one of the best catchers in the league.
		Mauer signed quickly in 2001, played rookie-ball that year, and then spent last season in low Single-A. This year, he started out at high Single-A, before being promoted to Double-A. All of which means he has made 4 stops in his professional career thus far.
		That looks like it will bode well for Joe Mauer and it is a good sign for guys like Hank Blalock, Rocco Baldelli, Mark Teixeira and Adam Dunn, impressive players who are all starters at very young ages.

		Mauer is Joe Cool on the outside, taking it all in as if he were a visitor to spring training instead of a big-league star in the making.
		Mauer owns the Twin Cities right now, but one thing he doesn’t own is a house.

	Joe Mauer Fanlisting
		A fanlisting is a place for all fans of a particular show, movie, actor, actress, singer, etc. to come together and build the biggest listing of people from all around the world who are fans of that subject.
		Being a catcher is hard, you are a part of every play in the game, you have to squat for extended periods of time, call for pitches and work with the pitching staff, etc. Joe does this all at the major league level and is only 23 years old.
		And I must of course add that I am not Joe, nor do I personally know him, so I can't guarantee that he will ever see this site or what is written on the tagboard.

	Minor League Ball :: Crystal Ball: Joe Mauer
		One is that he does have Mauer moving out of C which would lengthen his career and keep him from having the steep dropoff that Piazza is having.
		Also Mauer only goes over.330 once in a full season (and once in a half) whereas Piazza hit over.330 for 3 straight years and again in a half year with NYM and Piazza hit over.360 once in a full season.
		Mauer is considered to be the best catching prospect (maybe) ever, while Delmon is a tremendows OF prospect, but not on the level of a Vlad or (pre roids) Bonds-type player.

		I would be the first person in line to set up a little island paradise for Mauer in Upper GA. Of course, then someone else would have to start the Florida Retirement Center dedicated to Terry Mulholland on the other side of Upper GA. But I'm sure that could be arranged.

		Their comeback and the A's similar rally -- ESPN.com has gone "pay" for almost everything, but evidently even Joe Morgan's calling the A's the best team in baseball right now -- are the stories of the middle third of the season.
		Joe Sheehan, a Baseball Prospectus author who still doesn't think last year's Cardinals were for real, is at it again:
		I suppose he got his vindication when they ran into destiny's darlings in the World Series, but still, this is a team that led the league both in runs scored, with 855, and in fewest runs allowed, with 659.
