Trapper
He's leading the league in batting average, he's the sole reason the Twins are even within remote reach of the White sox and Tigers. Their recent 3 game sweep of the Red Sox is further proof of his calling a good game for the pitchers. The fact that he's only a couple years in and a no-name in the big markets is the wrong reason.
Real baseball fans would understand this guy is something special and they'd all mark him as their choice for catcher in the All Star game.
Unfortunately, it's a popularty contest and not a talent contest. This guy is nothing but a class act. Watch his interviews, watch his approach to the game. He is everything you'd want your kids to be if they are trying to emulate a current ball player.
Start to take note, and you'll be thrilled by what you see. His recent .600 batting average on their west coast road trip is further evidence that things are just at the tip of the ice berg.
To top it off, a catcher leading the majors in hitting. That's also a rarity now days with the wear and tear involved.
Cast your votes now for Joe Mauer, starting catcher for the American League All Stars!
Watch him in Pittsburgh this weekend, during interleague play. You'll be amazed.
