I don't feel the Mauer comp at all. For me, the Kotchman comp remains Grace - (though I think Kotchman actually may have just a hair more power than Grace had.
I continue to believe that he's essentially a .300 guy with doubles power - who has poor aggregate stats as a direct result of being kicked to the curb repeatedly. Since 2007, he's not hit under .282 for any team he STARTED the season with. I think Kotchman's career numbers are tainted by the .250 BABIP periods he's endured after each trade.
Hopefully, he plays all year and we get to see.
