Couldn't have happened to a better guy. Glad the powers that be overlooked the fact that he doesn't play for one of the "Big Market" teams...yet.

That'll look good on his resume' huh?

It would be nice if the Twins could keep him but if they do pay Mauer the big bucks, they will never be able to put any other decent players with him in the future. There will be no money left over to put together a competitive team.

Yeah it quickly becomes almost like a Garnett issue. We all want the guy here but his salary might hurt the franchises future.

We could trade Nathan to free up some (although I still am behind Nathan) Anyways I don't want to change the subject. Mauer was very well deserving of the award and he recieved all but one first place vote.

IT WASN'T EVEN CLOSE.... No reason for the CRY-ankees fans to be wining about it! Mauer put up insane numbers and still missed a month of the season. It was one of the best seasons for a catcher in MLB history!

Mauer also gets a cool $100,000 for being named MVP.

Oddly Magglio Ordonez got $200,000 for finishing 4th with one vote. Musta paid some writer off to pick that up!

How is it that mauer got a $100,000 bonus for winning the MVP, but miguel cabrera got $200,000 for finishing 4th?

Stipulations in their contracts? Remember, Crede had a stipulation in his contract regarding number of games he played this past season, most players don't.

To me it seems like getting the most money is not his top priority. I think what the Twins do to put players around him, meaning being somewhat aggressive in free agency, is more important to him in trying to win a WS. I hope Smith/Pohlads realize this. I think he can double his current contract and then some if Twins sign him to an extension before free agency. We have too many key players that are in their prime, we just need to solidify some positions(I think we all our opinions what those are). And I think that is what Joe is looking for. Twins needs to show him what they will do with the team and I hope that'll be enough for him to sign an extension. I really think he would rather stay here.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
