Joe Mauer giving a High 5 to some fan

There was an interesting article in the St. Paul Pioneer Press on Sunday about the Front Office woes of the Minnesota Twins. I’ll post an excerpt here, and give you a link for the rest of the article.

It is Krivsky’s expertise with contracts and arbitration cases that will leave the biggest hole for the Twins […]

And why not? If I were GM Terry Ryan, I’d be ready to offer Mauer whatever it costs to lock him up for 5-7 years. Finding a great hitting catcher that can also play defense is a rare find in the MLB. Here’s what Rotoworld had to say about it:
“Twins’ general manager Terry Ryan isn’t […]

Should Joe Mauer be moved up in the Twins lineup for next season. It’s been argued that Mauer is more of a 2 hole hitter than batting 3rd. He was put in the 3rd spot because of his ability to get on base. Joe simply doesn’t have the power to generate big RBI numbers that […]

Well is was a magical ride for the Twins in 2006, it’s too bad it had to come crashing down in the playoffs. I know it’s hard to believe, but the A’s just wanted it more. The Twins were out pitched and out hit in every game. There’s no doubt they would have given the […]

The Twins lost another heartbreaker to the Oakland A’s yesterday in Minnesota. I can’t believe they lost the two home games. The Twins are the better team, but I don’t think they can pull this off. Oakland dominates at home, that’s why it was so important for the Twins to have a two game lead […]

Barry Zito pitched a gem yesterday afternoon and allowed only one run on 4 hits. Joe Mauer was hitless (0-3) with 1 walk.
The Twins need to get their act together for the game this afternoon. Going into Oakland down 0-2 would be suicide for the Twins season.
