fishin58 Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Over/under 15 homers on the year? I will put him at 22. Anybody else care to take a stab? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quackaddict9 Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Less than 15! I'll guess 12 homeruns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrklean Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Less then 15 you crazy hes already at 4 and he hasnt even had 100 at bats, im gonna say he will be at 24, maybe a little high but i think he has it in him this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DHanson Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 I'll guess 15. About right for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nofishfisherman Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 I'll put him at 15-20 so I'll take the over.Not sure where this extra power is coming from but I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's my guess. He's had good streaks and never got past 13 since 2006. People thought he was gonna hit 20+ homeruns after that year but was hurt for sometime in the last two season.

zamboni Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 .325 18 HRs and 117 RBIs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarrod32 Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 He's 26 years old this year...an age when players often have a break out season. Of course, that usually correlates to a second or third full season. This will be Mauer's fifth full season. But I think we can expect a lot of those doubles he has hit in the past years to become home runs. I think that - somewhat like Ichiro - he could hit a lot more home runs if he wanted to, but it would be at the expense of 20 to 30 points on his batting average.

mrklean Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 maybe he will go 40-40 this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zepman Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 20+ this year. At 6'5" and 230 lbs he should hit this year in and year out!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paceman Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 I am going with over.....342 ave, 23 homers, 109 rbi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drewski Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 I'm thinking he's gonna have 20+ hr and a 320-330 average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodyDawg Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Guys, I dont think we are seeing a power surge. Have you seen his HRs? They BARELY got over the fence. Having said that, enjoy him for what he is. He is a high average hitter who gets on base, works the count and is overall the best or next to the best (Morny) hitter on the team and one of the best in the league. he may not hit for power and if he doesnt, I dont care.

fishin58 Posted May 14, 2009 Author Share Posted May 14, 2009 So put a number on him for the year, if he focused on homers like some have said his BA would dip. Joe just wants to be the best hitter in the game. Just imagine him puffing his cheeks out at every fastball he sees Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PierBridge Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 12 hrs... 88 rbi's .317...gold glove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crothmeier Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 20-25 HRs and a AVG between .340-.350 with over 100 RBIs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodyDawg Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 okay, my number is 14 blasts, 80 ribbies, .325. He missed a month of the season and has never been a big RBI guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Crichton Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 CodyDawg I like your numbers, maybe a couple more dingers IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Uran Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Martinez will give him a run for his money on the all-star ballots!! He'll hit in the .330 range and have 17 dingers and 85 rbi's!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B. Amish Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 there were talking the other night about whether mauer will have enough plate appearances to qualify for the batting title. what if he hits .400, would they use the same plate appearances threshold for it to count?

ozzie Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 he will have the plate appearances as long as he stays healthy..... and I will venture to guess he will end at .337 16hrs and 82 rbi........I feel I over estimated on all 3 except for maybe the average but I would love to see him finish around these numbers.......

Quackaddict9 Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Now call others crazy for thinking he will have less than 15 homeruns..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzie Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 I am not sold that he will break 15hrs this year even though he has 4 and missed a 5th......only time will tell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
