he'd better keep that average up!

Good deal for the Twins. Mauer is a guy that I'd spend big dollars on because he produces offensively from one of the hardest positions in Baseball.

SS/C are far and away the toughest positions to find solid offensive threats/good defenders at.

I'll take that a step further and say the hardest defensive position in baseball.
