Cuddyer and his .330 career OBP doesn't scare me. Doesn't hit for a lot of power, either.

Last year was the only year Mauer had significant injuries that forced him to miss time. He's been relatively healthy this spring, so how can he all of a sudden not stay healthy.
Cuddyer has not even really gotten a chance to play the couple years. Oh, he'll sub in if someone's hurt, but he usually only played sporadically and at different positions. Hard to get into any offensive rhythm either. Also, he's shown a good amount of power in the Minors.
