I know it's never been proven per se but Piazza is long suspected of PEDs.
Mauer had a good season in 2008 and a great one in 2009, and then played 82 games in 2011, when Posada retired.
It is not the same as Jack Morris. Posada was a switch hitting catcher with power who was great for a decade plus. That's special. There are maybe 2 or 3 great catchers at any given time, who usually burn out after a few good seasons. Sure guys might have a better year, but a better career?
