Look, you all are way more on top of the statistics of the game than I will ever be. I mentioned Carew because he is the best hitter I ever saw play. Mauer is, apparently, a prolific talent. I hope he hits .380-.400. I just don't see it happening. Not because he doesn't have the talent, it's just not (statistically) likely to happen.
By the way, Tony Oliva was pretty good too. And, I'd LOVE to see Mauer in a Sox uniform.
