Matt Crossman brings together six views of Joe Mauer. From the scout who signed him:
I saw him play baseball 20 to 30 times, plus I saw a half-dozen football games and a half-dozen basketball games. Watching him there gives you a gauge of his overall athleticism. One thing that stood...
Twenty-Two More Hits, and an Injury

Yesterday I noted that Joe Mauer could reach .400 with 25 straight hits. He got the first three tonight, going 3 for 3 with a walk, the walk coming in the six run eighth inning that gave the Twins a 6-3 comeback victory over the Twins. With 22 straight hits, Mauer’s average would [...]
Mauer Cycle?

Joe Mauer singles in the seventh to give him three quarters of the cycle. He homered and doubled earlier tonight. The Twins trail the Rangers 7-5 in the seventh, so if Minnesota can mount a comeback, Mauer should get a chance at the triple. Joe is now hitting .381.

Joe Mauer went 3 for 5 Monday night, raising his batting average to .380. He now projects out to 522 at bats for the season, giving him 164 remaining at bats. To hit .400 in 522 at bats, he’ll need 209 hits (.4004), or another 73 hits. So Joe needs to hit [...]

Let’s say we wake up on the morning of Sept. 14th, and Joe Mauer has over 502 plate appearances and is hitting .400. With three weeks left in the season, do you sit Mauer to guarantee a .400 season? Obviously, if the Twins are still in contention, that doesn’t happen, but what if [...]

Minnesota Twins catcher Joe Mauer is sure to set off a frenzied free-agent watch next season. He can leave Minnesota after 2010 for untold riches elsewhere.

Joe Mauer goes 3 for 5 in the Twins 7-3 loss to the Indians, the catcher’s 10th multi-hit game in his last 11 contests. He brings his batting average up to .378 with the outing, and lowers the odds of his hitting .400 to somewhere between 1 in 2300 to 1 in 3100. [...]

River Ave. Blues has the best take on Joe Mauer allegedly stealing signs that I’ve seen. To me, this is a non-story. Isn’t a pitcher and catcher supposed to have an alternative set of signs to use with a runner at second? Maybe Joe has ESP(n) and can just read the mind [...]
