The Twinkies were willing to pay him that much for that long. Blame the GM and ownership for throwing that much money at someone who plays

Posted by: Paul2k on Aug 26, 10:35 in response to HarryWarden's post Nope, instead he's stolen 23M from the Twins for the next...

the most demanding and damaging position on the field and does so at an MVP caliber. If you were given the opportunity for a huge raise and security, you'd take it, right? And what does personality or lack of it have to do with the money?

Is there a bigger wimp in professional sports right now than Joe Mauer? I don't think so. HarryWarden Aug 26, 10:21

Aww...did Mauer steal your lunch money? {nm} Paul2k Aug 26, 10:25

Nope, instead he's stolen 23M from the Twins for the next 8 years of constant injuries and no personality {nm} HarryWarden Aug 26, 10:28

He wasn't willing to learn to play First Base until recently HarryWarden Aug 26, 10:42

How do you know that he doesn't give a crap about playing hard? That he doesn't offer leadership? Do you talk to him? Are you in the locker Paul2k Aug 26, 10:58

But at least Cal was out there playing every game. I'd even take someone like Brett Favre, though a diva, you could count on him to play {nm} HarryWarden Aug 26, 11:03

Must be nice to throw an opinion out there without ever backing it up with anything useful {nm} alfpaul Aug 26, 11:14

So you support money-grubbing players who don't give it their all? Normal people would be fired if they were out as much as he has been {nm} HarryWarden Aug 26, 11:15

Nope I support the free market system that rewarded a guy based on his play...and I reward opinions that are backed up by something {nm} alfpaul Aug 26, 11:16

Backed up? Just look at the number of games he has missed. There's no excuse for that when you're being paid like he is. HarryWarden Aug 26, 11:19

Like lets take my opinion on your points alfpaul Aug 26, 11:24

Do you think they'll fire the coach? {nm} HarryWarden Aug 26, 11:27

eh, not from the area and don't follow the team alfpaul Aug 26, 11:33

I wonder how long it'll take them to fire Gardenhire. The Vikings fired Childress even though he had won the division the year before. HarryWarden Aug 26, 11:14

if he gets fired, cubs should pick him up {nm} islander Aug 27, 06:56

If he plays hurt, goes 0 for 4 and the injury gets worst, how does that help the team? {nm} Antibody Aug 26, 12:53
