Queen Prawn Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 MINNEAPOLIS (Ticker) - Minnesota Twins rookie catcher Joe Mauer has a torn meniscus cartilage in his left knee and will be sidelined indefinitely. Twins general manager Terry Ryan confirmed on Wednesday that Mauer, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2001 draft, will undergo surgery at a date to be determined. Now it sounds a little more serious than 3 weeks... from rotoworld OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! I may hate the twinks with a passion, but I wouldn't wish that kind of injury on anyone.

OZZ-fest 2004 Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 That sucks for Joe Mauer. Can't say I'm upset because it happened to the Twins, but I feel bad for him, especially being a rookie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitewashed in '05 Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Don't know if this has been posted before but he needs surgery in his knee... http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb...s_mlb&fext=.jsp Check it out for yourself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wise Master Buehrle Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Honestly, I would rather have him off the DL. He was swinging the bat well... and young talents are always fun to watch.. oh well. Twins fans must be jumping off of bridges... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 Damn that is horrible news for twins fans. Joe Mauer is a stud. Luckaly he is only 20 years old so missing one year won't hurt him, but he might not be the same player if the knee is bothersome even with the surgery. Wow...I'm shocked.

knightni Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 Guess they shoulda taken Prior huh... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandoFan Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 Sandy's had a few operations of his own. They are often recurring in a catcher. I think the days of Mauer the Gold Glover may be in jeopardy. It's a shame for them -- he got on base 6 times in his first 7 ML at-bats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillieHarris2 Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 thats horrible. hopefully he makes a full recovery and gets back to where he was before he got hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishmookie Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 he's only out for a month so is Prior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitewashed in '05 Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 he's only out for a month so is Prior. Only for a month when he needs knee surgery? I highly doubt that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 He's done for the season. They just put him on the 15 day DL cause they want to set up a date for him to have the operation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say atleast 2 until he's ready to play 100% (you know they will take precautions), and just like other injuries, it could ruin his season like Wright's minor injury ruined his last season.
