While I think he is great, Mauer has never had a season as great as Posada's current year.

[/ QUOTE ]

isn't Mauer's last year basically the same as Posada's this year?

.414/.527

vs

.429/.507 10.8warp3

and well he's only 24

[/ QUOTE ]

Roughly equivalent.

There is a decent difference in OPS+ though(156 to 144) so it appears there's a good sized Ballpark difference.

[NT!]

yes he gets in IMO

Mauer wasn't as highly rated with VORP either.... or was he?

seems kind of silly to look at purely offensive numbers for a below average defensive catcher

I have a feeling Posada will end up like Bert Blyleven where the voters are too dumb to realize he's a HOFer but the ppl that understand statistics consider him an easy selection

[/ QUOTE ]
agree altho posadas not as good as blyleven

[THAY3R]

Also seems kind of silly to blindly believe whatever people tell you.

i think to the average sportswriter posada is like marginally better than tino martinez

[THAY3R]

Yea right, Tino was a leader and a champion.
