Well he has started more games at catcher than any other position at this point.
If he plays more first or DH over the years, that will change. But that's currently the universal description of a players position.
In all-time debates, A-Rod is considered a SS, not a 3B because of this.
Btw, moving off catcher probably hurt Mauer's career WAR a good amount because he was still passable as a catcher but not much in a more rangey position. But the Twins were trying to protect him. But it doesn't help him in terms of WAR. His bat needed to be stronger because he went from the weakest offensive position where he hit well, to a loaded offensive position where he became just average.
