Can't completely agree with Mauer, as he only had around 100 plate appearances for the first half of the decade and wasn't so ridiculously good over the last 5 years (aside from this past season) to ignore that fact.

I'd say that as a whole (ignoring possible/likely steroid use), Pudge from '00-'04 was better than Mauer from '05-'09. Obviously, the guy that's still at the top of his game will garner more attention for these types of lists.

The same goes for Jeff Kent over Utley - better body of work for the entire decade IMO.
