A couple nitpics with Nick's article: in April, I didn't see Mauer "spraying liners everywhere." He was getting a few more to drop in LF. I do agree he was K'ing less. I also disagree he used to get a lot of doubles by hitting "liners down both lines." He never pulled the ball with authority much. And to me, that is the primary issue with Mauer, his inability to turn on the ball. When pitchers aren't afraid of you pulling the ball, they pitch you differently. Teams can defend you differently...and teams don't even defend right field against Mauer anymore. The entire OF is shifted way to the left. He still gets on base, at least better than other current Twins options. Bat him first or second and just leave him there, instead of continuing to imagine anything is going to change.
