“Too big. Not quick enough. I heard everything under the sun,” Mauer, who
recently signed on as a spokesman for Head & Shoulders, said in a phone
interview.
Some baseball observers feel that tall catchers are limited in their
flexibility, and that someone like Montero would be better off switching to
another position like first base, outfield or designated hitter.
But Mauer, who has won three Gold Gloves to go along with three batting
titles and a Most Valuable Player award, has proved that height is not a
hindrance for catchers with ability, and Montero, like Mauer, is a talented
hitter. “I’ve heard a lot about him,” Mauer said of the 20-year-old
Montero. “I’m excited to see him.”
Mauer was told about Montero’s insistence about making the majors as a
catcher.
“That’s good,” Mauer said. “He might find that everyone wants to throw
their two cents in. But I really enjoyed the position and that was not going
to stop me.”
Montero will be given a chance to make the Yankees in spring training.
“My advice to him is try and learn as much as you can,” Mauer said. “He’s
lucky he has Jorge Posada, a pretty good catcher to learn from.
“And he has Russell Martin there now, too, another good one to help him.
Those two guys that have been around the block. He should follow those guys
around and learn as much as he can.”
When Mauer began his major league career, he made a point of learning
everything about his pitchers, including how they think. He advises Montero
to do the same.
“It’s important to get to know your customers,” Mauer said.
“Know your staff and the little things that they respond to. You have to
learn the pitchers and what they are capable of doing and not doing. Try to
put your pitchers in the best situations they can to succeed.”
The Yankees will be missing a key pitcher after Andy Pettitte announced his
retirement. But Mauer said the Yankees made a good choice when they signed
Freddy Garcia. Garcia was 12-6 for the White Sox as Chicago battled the Twins
for the A.L. Central title last season, falling short.
“He’s a pitcher who knows what he’s doing,” Mauer said. “He’s been
around. He battles. He doesn’t have the stuff that he did when he first came
up. But he’s definitely a competitor.”
