I will be interviewing Cedar Rapids Kernels' manager Jake Mauer later this afternoon. Let me know if there are any questions you would like me to ask him. Topics could be about players, coaching, philosophy, etc. 

Just a reminder... if you would like me to ask Jake Mauer a question or two, or just give me some topics to bring up with him, leave your questions here.

Okay, How much does he feel age is a factor for observing and interpreting Midwest League results. Does he see younger players doing well as a  predictor of future success or as a way to temper expectations if a older player for the league is having a good year? Or is it not a factor at all. 

Was he really interviewed by the Twins, and was he ever considered a serious candidate for Gardy's job?

What is it like having almost a completely new roster every year? How much do you have to change your strategy each year, or even with roster changes from call-ups?

I like the roster question. A followup would be how he deals with roster turnover as the year goes on. How do you keep a team together when it isn't the same set of guys at the end of the year?

What's it like being the other Mauer in the Twins organization?
