OT : Joe Mauer PLACED ON WAIVERS.

[Huffalicious]

I thought this deserved it's own thread, because it's motherfucking Joe Mauer.

The Red Sox are in a good spot to get him, but I doubt it would happen. Mauer would probably say "hell no" anyways to going to that train wreck of a team.

With Teixiera hurt, I wonder if the Yankees would try to make a deal happen. Which would suck. I like Joe Mauer, even though he's a Twinkie, but I'd hate to see him play for the Yankees. Fucking Yankees.

 

[brett05]

No on eis going to touch that contract. he's an easy clear on waivers.

 

[Huffalicious]

Yeah, his contract is ridiculous.

 

[BrewCrewFan]

No one should claim him. He's not worth the contract.

 

[brett05]

I do love the player though, just not at his dollars.

I LOVE THE PLAYER AND HIS DOLLARS IF IT MEANS HE WILL BE A WHITE SOX LOVE JMau, get it done KW

Just curious how you would plan to make this happen. lol

I would kill Jerry Reinsdorf for his life insurance money.

 

[brett05]

Getting Mauer would set this team way way too far back. Similar to how Rios handcuffed us in previous seasons.

I like your style.

It'd benefit the Bulls also! Make this happen.

But look how that's turning out.

yeah no way it happens, but one can dream :dunno:

in the fantasy world of mauer and the sox it would essentially mean the end of Viciedo. The only way to make this work is to have Dunn in LF, PK at 1b and Mauer to DH and than flip flop PK and Mauer.

Uhm, I'm not paying that kind of money in hopes of a one year turn around at some point in a long term contract.

Which, with the way Vicideo plays, it wouldn't be so bad.

Well, exactly. YOU'RE not paying that kind of money.

 

[brett05]

And neither will any other team outside of the Twins. And the Sox wish they hadn't for Rios either.

I don't think Mauer hits with enough power to have him at DH. I'd actually put Mauer in the OF (he's played there before and as a catcher he's theoretically a better defender) so I'd keep Dunn at DH and put Mauer in the OF somewhere.

you can do that. Mauers numbers have dropped since that new ballpark with homeruns. It doesnt matter how you label a guy DH/1b whatever. The lineup would be the same regardless if he was DH or outfield so its kind of a mute point.
