Mauer or Varitek at Shea?

[axemet]

anybody have any thoughts on this one? Other parks in div. are Safeco, SBC, and Skydome

mauer, gets hurt way to much, but Varitek will be out aswell, but not as much, for the popside, except about 20-30 with mauer, but then you need a good solid catcher, and at his cost of 5 million plus another extra 1, is like 6. i would see if you could look at someone else and used the cash on other offence areas.

Mauer anytime you can get him, have a good 2 way backup/platoon such as Piazza or at the cheapest Pratt, who will at least get on base vs. RH (with a very low average.)

I don't bother with Mauer due to injury and scarcity, but always use Varitek at Shea and others. He has almost an ideal card for a LH park, with power vs RH and nice hits & OBP vs LHP's with a little pop. I also use him at leadoff(and third, and fifth) often vs LHP's when I need it. I do live in Boston, but his card is very good for a LH Park. At worst, he'll put up solid nimbers.

Mauer is a Monster. I would take him and spend on a decent back-up.
