Now he wants to swap Catchers...

Postby APAP » Sun Mar 08, 2009 10:04 pm

I gotta say I do like this one a lot better. After offering two closer swaps, he now offered his Mauer for my Soto. How about this one? Althou Soto offers more in power, Mauer is more realiable and is better all around. Should I take it?

I'm a huge Twins fan but I'd stay with Soto.

It depends on your roster. I think I take Mauer unless your team really lacks power.

I like Soto. I don't see Mauer catching in a few years.

I'd agree with you on Mauer, but I'll worry 'bout that when the time comes. Take Mauer. ;-D
