Royals Could Mauer really hit .400 this year?

Consistent1 · 06-16-2009, 11:12 PM

Most likely not a popular topic, but what do you think? He had another nice night tonight. Doesn't just swing for the fences. If you ask me, it could be possible.

Sure helps that he missed a month. Going to make it a lot easier for him to get to the All-Star break at or above .400... and then the chase really starts. But it's still going to be tough to do.

For sure on the month thing, but he will end up qualifying at the end of the year. I have a funny feeling about this one.

Yeah I know he'll probably qualify easily... I think I meant as more of a mental thing... you get to the ASB at .400 and it really becomes a hot topic, and he's got a great shot to do that. But it's still gonna take a great year to do it regardless.

Yep

Brett only played in 117 games in 1980 when he hit .390 (was injured for most of June and half of July). That said, he still had 118 RBI's. Pretty amazing. Also amazing was that he only stuck out 22 times in 449 AB's.

not a chance in Hades

BWillie · 06-17-2009, 01:18 AM

Yes, because he won't won't have an ungodly at bats. The questions is "COULD" he, not will he. Of course he could. He's a great player and he's looking to peak in the next 4 years of his career. He does not Arod's cousin, which seems to be helping him be on pace for 45 home runs this year when is previous high was like 11.

Here's a question. Wouldn't it be nice if half the team would hit over .240?

wild1 · 06-17-2009, 07:01 AM

He probably has a better chance because of the missed month of at-bats, but I'll still say no. He's a fantastic hitter but no.

Here's why Joe Mauer rocks at hitting.

Maybe if he DHs a lot and saves wear on his body. Obviously the odds are against it, but who knows?

MIAdragon · 06-17-2009, 08:48 AM

I hope not, if he does his next contract will be even more ludicrous than it is already going to be.
