Joe Mauer and the Quest for .500 (or .400, as it will eventually become)
Mauer is about to reach 80 at bats with (at least) 35 hits. The guy has been absolutely on fire. He has 10 homeruns (his career high is 13 in 600 AB) which puts him just a couple behind Morneau (who has played in every game this year).
The biggest question will be whether or not Mauer reaches enough plate appearances to qualify. He missed the entire month of April and will need like 100 PA over the rest of the year.
So knock on wood, but here's to Joe Mauer and .500!!
