Article: Trust The Process And The Stats

I live in LA too! Go West Coast Twins Fans! I'm hoping to see them in SF in June. I think Mauer provides value, but not $23 million's worth. But, that's just where he is in his career, the tail end. Let's try to not focus on his albatross of a salary but instead on what he does provide. He, like Grossman, takes quality at-bats, rarely strikes out, sees lots of pitches, and provides good situational hitting like he did yesterday when his Mauer Special, the rollover to the right side, actually scores a run. He has also provided sterling defense at first. Where would our D be without a good gloveman at first? I think Mauer is respected in the clubhouse and is a leader. He is more beneficial to the team than not, but it's just he's getting paid way more than what he does bring. I, too, hope he's remembered fondly and not despised for his contract.- 75 replies
