Why is their and "if" associated with a catcher in the HOF who has the following qualifications:
11 All Star games
2nd in Rookie of the Year voting
5 Silver Slugger awards
3 Gold Gloves
A WS championship
4 top six finishes in the MVP voting
Any catcher with the above accomplishments should be in the HOF with no "if" associated.
Mauer is deserving, but his similar accomplishments to Carter are:
6 All Star games
5 Silver Slugger awards
3 Gold Gloves
3 top six finishes in the MVP voting, including one first place finish
