Haven't the cover guys been MVP's the previous year?

Yeah I think Ichiro is a great player and sure hall of famer. IMO, I think Mauer is a better hitter.

Another interesting stat comparison between the two is strikeouts and walks. Here is the 09 breakdown:
Mauer:
SO 63
BB 76

Ichiro:
SO 71
BB 32

As you can see Mauer has walked more than struckout. That is quite an accomplishment.

Man, all this talk about Ichiro is getting me to think about my first trade in franchise. Trading away Ichiro.

The speed of the player (Ichiro) would have a lot to do with that as well.

I'll take Mauer.
You could come up with a couple of OF'ers close to Ichiro.
I don't think there is a catcher in the game that even comes CLOSE to Mauer.

Both great players either way.

Ichiro is obviously one of the best players in baseball...but to me there is no comparison.

Mauer's a catcher and what that guy does from such a grueling position is almost unreal.

Re: MLB '10: The Show - Joe Mauer Interview (Gameinformer)

LOL you baseball nerds... Only baseball fans could turn a Mauer interview into a "Who's better? Ichiro or Mauer? As of right now, Mauer is better statistically, If you can even compare a Catcher to a RF. If you asked a GM of any team who they wanted it would be Mauer. What he does as a catcher is borderline legendary, and he is way more valuable at his position then Ichiro is.

No knock against Ichiro though, He's one of the Mlb's best hitters, and is a tremendous rightfielder with a cannon of an arm. But in this stage, your a fool if you pick Ichiro over Mauer, Ichiro is getting up there in age, and Mauer is just now hitting his prime. No Question who the better player is RIGHT NOW.
