Rosen is now reporting that Mauer's agreed to a 10 year deal.
What's up with that?

Lies, all lies. Figures Govs would get burned.

Rosen broke the Favre story - he's been on his game recently.
What's up with that?

I believe the most recent news regarding this situation is that Mark Rosen is a f'n a-hole.
What's up with that?

Need a laugh?
Here's a boofin' Rockies fan playing the angle that somehow Mauer could end up in Colorado.
Uh.... No.
What's up with that?

I am not one of the members of the "oh, they'll get it done crowd".
It will cost the Twins a lot to keep Mauer. Is it too much? Maybe.
I remember when this was going on with Puckett who was the most popular Twin in history in his time and would still be if not for Mauer.
They kept Pucket and anybody else thay had, they let go.
The team was bad for 6-7 years.
I like the whole Mauer thing but he is only one guy. the payroll is at 90+ million now. It goes to 100 mill if they sign Mauer.
Should they do it?
I don't know.

Back in the mid-90's, the Twins didn't do as good of a job in developing minor leaguers as they've done over the last decade. The depth over the last 9 or 10 years has been showcased repeatedly, however. They can dump a slew of cash on Mauer and still be competitive with a $90m payroll in future seasons. It'll mean others will have to go - Morneau, Cuddyer, Kubel maybe - but it doesn't mean they'll immediately revert into the "Butch Huskey Era" Twins again.
Could they contend for a World Series with that much dedicated to Mauer, or would we be dealing with the "Torii Hunter Era" Twins who are content with division titles? Well, that's the question...
Either way, I think the days of consistently losing for years on end are over (as long as Selig doesn't do something stupid like realign divisions).
What's up with that?

But Govs, I think the cupboard is bare.
I dont think thay have guys now who can help them if 4-5 years down the road if Mauer is all they have left of the current players.
What about Slowey, Blackburn, Span etc. Will there be enough money to sign those guys if Mauer gets 23 mill/ year?
Mauer is one guy. Sure he is insanely popular as most CDH guys are but go back and look at the attendence in Pucketts last 3 years. Abysmal. But they had to sign Puckett.
The team and baseball is bigger than one guy.
I want Target Field to have a competitive team.

Don't forget the Twins were able (or willing) to sign Puckett because he, and Hrbek, gave them the "home town discount". At the time it was for a lot of money but they could have signed for substantially more elsewhere if they had wanted.

The stadium is supposed to create new "revenue streams".
If it isn't wide enough to hold a few whopper trout, what the boof did we build it for?

My idea:
Trade Mauer now for a ****load of prospects and a couple cheap major league guys. Sign him back after next year, that way we are still good and still have Mauer. How is that plan not perfect?

I think we see them responding to the new revenue already.
But Neut, the Dodgers payroll was 100 mill last year and the Twins wil be over that if they sign Mauer.
I doubt the Twins can match LAD's revenue.
But anyways, millions of fans are not going to pay to watch Joe Mauer on a 72-90 team. They didnt when Puckett was in CF.

OK so here is another issue and I know this is heresy to alot of folks but: Is Mauer worth 20 + million a year?
Here are his 162 game averages for his career:
.327 17 HR 92 RBI 196 hits.
20 plus million/yr?
The Twins have a lot to think about.

what about his handling of pitchers?
how about his throwing arm
how about his popularity with the fans
I think the intangibles help him with this argument
the only drawback is his HS educational and athletic choices

That's not intangible.
Mauer could sign tommorrow but I am stickin my neck out and sayin that it will take well into next season.
I doubt the Twins want to do 10 yrs.
