For some reason, Joe Mauer is one of
those hitters who scouts and fans keep expecting a
HR spike from, despite the fact that he has never shown the power he supposedly one day might display. For his career, he has a total of 40 HRs in 1824 ABs, which equates to just 12 HRs in a 550 AB season. Will this mysterious power spike ever manifest itself, rewarding fantasy owners who have patiently waited?
It’s All-Star week, so lets take a look
at this years’ American League Roto All-Stars…. It’s a
rite of summer, every year we fans get to vote for who we want to see in the All-Star game. Some of us punch the little holes out on a ballot card for each player on our favorite team, while other fans vote for which player they believe to be the best at his position. And then some of us think ...
Featured comment Close comment For the record..... Beltre
currently has 16 HR. That would be 2 more
than our beloved Justin Morneau, 3 more than Kubel, and 11 more than Joe Mauer. Not to read more mention the fact that Beltre is hitting in the middle ...
Baseball sure is a crazy game. The Twins
couldn't do anything all day, but a late inning
rally and Morneau's fifth hit of the day still gave them a victory.
Three in a row! Minnesota has pulled off
their third straight one-run game, but it still goes
a long way to re-proving to me that the Boston series was a fluke. Baker had a very solid game, going seven innings giving up only four runs. Behind the hot bat of Brendan Harris, who went 3-3 with four RBI. Harris homered, as did Mauer, who had the other two RBI. The bullpen did a good job again, ...
Joe Mauer is the leading vote getter for
AL catchers, recently passing Jason Varitek... should Tek even
be in the mix? Vote at The Bottom Line...

Andrew Kneeland takes a humorous look at Joe
Mauer.
The Twins have played 81 games, and we
can now take a good look at what the
hitters are on pace to do by season's end.
Many of the American League races will hinge
on the final days of balloting for the 79th
All-Star Game, which will be played on Tuesday, July 15th at Yankee Stadium. Minnesota Twins catcher Joe Mauer , Boston Red Sox teammates Kevin Youkilis and Dustin Pedroia and Seattle Mariners outfielder I chiro Suzuki , who is vying for the third starting outfield slot, cling to tight leads. Mauer ...

After getting thrown at twice Monday night in
retaliation for Carlos Guillen getting the brushback from a
Glen Perkins "fastball", Joe Mauer gave the staredown and took two steps toward Detroit Tigers righty Armando Galarraga.
Nick Blackburn combined with two relievers on a
five-hitter, and Joe Mauer’s two-out, two-run single sparked a
five-run third inning that led the surging Minnesota Twins over the Detroit Tigers 7-0 today.

After going 3-7 on the road trip, the
Red Sox look like Rocky after the Clubber Lang
beat down in Rocky III... Meanwhile, the Twins look to play the role of Clubber, riding a 6-game winning streak into Boston... Perhaps a good ol' fashion slugfest at Fenway will wake up the Sox...
All of you will have to excuse me
this week. I had to fight the urge to
do another Rafael Nadal HDH. And I do mean fight. I was so close to just giving in and doing an All - Wimbledon version . But I didn’t because my obsession fandom should ...
