JOE MAUER RUMORS & GOSSIP

Mauer’s Comeback: Albatross No More?

The Minnesota Twins have not had many bright spots this season, but one seems to be the return of Joe Mauer‘s bat. After an injury-plagued disaster of a 2011 seasons, Joe Mauer is hitting like his old self again. After his 2-4 with a home run and a walk peformance in yesterday’s losing effort against the White Sox, Mauer now has a classic, Mauer-esque .301/.414/.423 ...

How to rebuild the Twins

Although the Twins are pretty much hamstrung and stuck with Joe Mauer for the foreseeable future, that doesn't mean there aren't some moves they could make to try to rebuild quickly - which they'll have to do in order to become contenders again before Mauer is completely out of his prime assuming he isn't already.

I think this Joe Mauer contract might have been a bad idea

- Quick, what's the flukiest home run season in history? You thought of Brady Anderson's 50 in 1996, right? Of course, I'm pretty sure everybody did. He's as out of place on a list of players with 50 homers in a season as most of this blog's readers would be in a book store, and I'm pretty sure he's the first name most people would come up with.

Joe Mauer should move to third

For years, fans and media alike have argued whether the Twins would benefit more by moving "injury-prone" Joe Mauer to a less taxing position than catcher. For years, I've been arguing that Mauer is most valuable as a catcher, by a wide-margin, and for...

Joe Mauer Styles A Fan’s Hair

I’m suspecting Joe Mauer is really into hair. Remember the Head and Shoulders commercials? Well this time, it’s a lucky fan that gets to have his hair follicles moisten by the all-star catcher Joe Mauer. Not sure how I feel about Mauer being a hair stylist for a day, but hey, it’s for the fans
