I'm not a fan of spending big on free agents(not that i should care it's not my money), I just look around the league and see subpar player blocking up roster spots due to the size of their contract. I think Twins' fans are lucky that Mauer provides the value he does, not what you signed him for but better then Pujols. I think this is the year to sign a premier free agent pitcher, you have some contracts coming off the books soon and, if your lucky you trade away an extra pitcher at the deadline if the younger arms are forcing their way onto the roster.
