The wife went to see the grandkids up in the Twin Cities this week she ran into Joe Mauer now she’s all smiles. LOL That helped make her trip for sure.

Twins catcher played for the twins had a no trade clause in his contract he probably could made more but he seemed like the real deal.

Just spoke with his hitting coach for the twins in those years. His coaches brother is married my cousin. Joe had a sweet swing.

6’5 230 lbs of flab and no power. Sure, career .300 hitter but no speed, few rbi and 10 hr a year? I think it’s mostly just twins fans who see the value in this guy using up a third of the twins salary every year.
Had a college coach that made it to triple A ball, got moved to first base. He told me that thats the universal sign youre washed up and if you are gonna be valuable to anyone, you better have a BIG bat. He didnt, so he hung it up. Ain’t you just a ray of sunshine! LOL

AL MVP, golden glove awards, batting awards stayed to play in his hometown for less than he could have made ? Yes he’s a monster you amaze me sometimes.

Wont deny that for a second. But the highest paid catcher in mlb history for what he did with the twins budget? Give me a Yadier Molina ANY day. Handled a staff on several winning teams for far far longer and hit 30 points less. Got paid about half too. Never said hes a bad guy or anything. Just quite overrated. Weve had this debate at work many times. Only the die hard twins fans will back him.

My co-worker Lynn thought he was finer than frog hair. If you said anything bad about him, she would clobber you. Introduce her to DWC please! LOL
