I am watching the game and was looking over his stats in his 15th year. Started about 370 more games as a catcher. Won 3 GG's as a catcher, 3 batting titles, 6 AS games, 5 SS's, and has 1 MVP.
2000 hits lifetime BA of.308 and OBP .392 figure he ends up with 2300 hits for his career if he plays a few more.
I cant decide. I want to say yes, but....

Twins HOF if they have one, but that's it. If Ted Simmons isn't in Maurer can't be in.

I don't think he has a better resume than either of them. Simmons had 2500 hits and some power and about twice as many AS appearances. |

Simmons has 2 more AS's visits, no SS's, no GG's, no batting titles, and no MVP. On top of that he played 21 seasons.
I think Murphy should be in the Hall.

Lot's of awards went to Bench during the same time Simmons was playing.

I am sure Bench took a few.
Mauer would also have more GG's if he had kept catching.

He was a pretty good defensive catcher.

Mauer was not as good of a catcher as Simmons. Simmons had a 34% CS rate with 20 years behind the plate.

If Mauer could have stayed behind the plate and performed, he would have a much better case.
