Newsbreakers

October 29, 2009

Minnesota Twins' catcher Joe Mauer has been voted the AL's Most Oustanding Player by the Major League Baseball Players Association, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Our View:

Mauer is in a tight race for AL MVP with the Yankees' Mark Teixeira, but apparently the players believe he was the best in his league. Mauer's .365 average was outstanding this season, not to mention he added 28 homers and 96 RBI.

October 10, 2009

Joe Christensen of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune is reporting that Twins' catcher Joe Mauer is dealing with a hip flexor issue. Mauer told manager Ron Gardenhire that he wants to remain behind the plate the rest of the way.

Our View:

The injury sounds pretty minor, but any discomfort for Mauer has to be a concern for the Twins. He is a gamer who would not miss a playoff game for something like this, so expect him to be just fine for Game 3. If the injury gets too sore, Mauer could DH at some point if the series continues.

October 9, 2009

Joe Mauer went 2-for-4 and worked a pair of walks in the Twins 4-3, 11-inning loss to the Yankees on Friday night. They head home to Minnesota trailing 2-0 in the series.

Our View:

Mauer hit a ground-rule double down the line to lead off the 11th, but the ball was called foul when it was clearly fair. He mustered a single after it was called back, and the Twins ended up loading the bases with no one out, but failed to score. The Yankees won it on a solo homer by Mark Teixeira in the first at-bat of the bottom of the inning and the Twins have to be livid over the umpiring. Someone was looking out for the Bronx Bombers.

October 2, 2009

The New York Times is reporting that Twins' catcher Joe Mauer is not interested in being the highest paid player in the game when he becomes a free agent after next season. "Just having the chance to win would be important to me," he said.

Our View:

Most players say things like this and still take the biggest offer on the table, but Mauer may be one guy who is telling the truth. He is a Minnesota boy, and if the Twins prove they can be competitive every season, we could see Mauer signing a long-term deal. It also wouldn't surprise anyone if he ended up breaking the bank with the Yanks or Red Sox before the 2011 season.

September 27, 2009

Joe Mauer went 2-for-5 in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Royals.

Our View:

Mauer has his major league leading average up to .371 and is hitting at a .386 clip in September. His worst statistical month? July, where he "struggled" to hit .309 with four homers and 14 RBI.
