Ugh... even more reason to rake him over the coals. You're in the position of strength here.

Except in AVG, Mauer beat him by about 80 pts.
I do know what you are saying though.

Personally I think Halladay is a decent upgrade from Wainwright and Mauer is a significant upgrade from McCann. I forgot/was unaware of Morneau's injury last season.

Right, Mauer also had 50 more AB's, and you would have expected him to get a shit ton more... maybe he will this season after getting that contract. I don't like overpaying for catchers. It's one of the positions that I usually place the lowest priority on. Too many catchers get injured, and they take at least one day off a week. Look at the SOI draft results... I'll gladly take Posada in the 16th round and beef up at other positions rather than taking someone like Mauer in the 3rd. The difference between them isn't THAT great on paper.

Between Pujols, Wainwright and McCann you're going to get about 70-75 HRs, 250 RBIs, 10 SBs, 200-220 runs, 350 hits, a .320 average, 17 wins, 200 Ks, 2.8-3.0 ERA, and 1.15 WHIP
Between Morneau, Mauer and Halladay you're going to get about 55 HRs, 190 RBIs, 0 SBs, 180 runs, 350 hits, a .320 average, 17 wins, 200 Ks, 2.8-3.0 ERA, and 1.15 WHIP
Factor in Morneau's shoulder, Halladay's age (and Wainwright's like CC said), Mauer only hitting over 15 HR's once and I think it isn't worth it. Try to get an upgrade somewhere else, and it might be worth it.

Mauer is a good hitter in fantasy baseball. I dont care what position he plays.
(Hell, he can DH in the AL)

I need to boost my batting average, and I'd like to upgrade behind the plate.
What if I offer Justin Upton, Johan Santana & Jorge Posada for Joe Mauer, Matt Holiday & Chad Billingsley?
Asking for too much? Too little? Or am I just stupid for wanting a Cardinal on my team?

Who do you have behind the plate?

Call it a hunch, but I'm guessing Posada.

Yes, Posada. I need AVG and I don't trust Posada with his health and age.

FUCK YEAH JORGE POSADA!!!! Off Pesky's Pole! Whooo. I'll hold off on trading him.

I decided to play for the first time in a while. I ranked Mauer #1 and Pujols 13. I figured there are some other great 1bman, but not much at catcher, and I don't want root for Pujols. It drafted last night, turned out I had the #1 pick. I
