Alex Rodriguez and Manny Ramirez were called "pure hitters" as well.

Well in todays game anything is possible and I kind of figured you were kidding that is why I didnt quote your comment.
Mauer is one of the most level headed players I have ever seen and his maturity is off the charts. He was born in the St Paul area and is loved in Minnesota. The kid has had so much pressure on him since he arrived and yet nothing has seemed to phase him. Ive never seen or heard anything negative that he has done so it would be stunning to me. He is far from the pompous ass that he could have been growing up a 2 sport stud.(offered a scholarship to play QB at FSU)
