“If you're drafting Mauer, make sure you get your power elsewhere. He can supplement a moderate AVG team, though.”

 

“bounced back some in 2012 see more then 10 HR this year & a .300 avg (from a catcher is great) ”

 

“On my all bust team for 2013. Read more at http://www.FantasySportsEmpires.com ”

 

“Joe is one of those catchers who will get you a great RBI total, along with an award winning batting average. Not to mention nearly 100 Runs. While also throwing in some low double digit HR totals to go with double digit steals. He will make you happy as a fantasy owner.”
