April 7, 200422 yr 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.

April 7, 200422 yr 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.
April 7, 200422 yr 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!
April 7, 200422 yr 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...
April 8, 200422 yr 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.
April 8, 200422 yr 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.
April 8, 200422 yr thats horrible. hopefully he makes a full recovery and gets back to where he was before he got hurt.
April 8, 200422 yr he's only out for a month so is Prior. Only for a month when he needs knee surgery? I highly doubt that.
April 8, 200422 yr 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.
April 8, 200422 yr Only for a month when he needs knee surgery? I highly doubt that. when i read the article it said he was gone for a month. dunno if he's out for the year that's a very tough blow.
April 8, 200422 yr from the article :"An MRI exam Wednesday morning revealed that Mauer has a torn medial meniscus cartilage in his left knee. It will require arthroscopic surgery and he is expected to miss up to a month."

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.
