Who is the Angels stud catching prospect?

[Sunspot]

I know I heard of him before, but I forgot his name, is he gonna be up any time soon?

Jeff Mathis. Next year, I think. At Arkansas (AA) now.

He's supposed to be as good a hitter as Mauer eventually.........Mauer gets more hype because he is ready now and excellent defensively as well, but that doesn't matter very much in fantasy. In 2006 it might be a toss-up over thr two of them. And Mathis will be in a much better lineup, assuming the high-rolling Angels don't trade him for a salary dump.
