Can Joe Mauer take a run at .400?


As of right now he's at .431 and will soon qualify for enough at bats to be league leader in batting average. This guy has one of the purest swings, and best plate approaches I've ever seen at the professional level. He simply will not take many bad pitches, he makes the pitcher work.

Also his ability to go opposite field is just amazing, and now that he's put on the "man muscles" those long fly ball outs are leaving the park, going slightly over the left field wall.

I for one think he will fall short, for a few factors, as the season wears on, especially for catchers there is more wear and tear on the body, and temperatures get hotter and so forth. I realistically think he can hit around .365 though. What are your thoughts, is it possible or a pipe dream?
