Is Joe Mauer Worth the Long-Term Risk?

Fascinating read from Joe Christiensen, who tackles the question that everyone has been avoiding so far: Is Joe Mauer worth the long term risk?

You be the judge.

I've said this before, but I think the Twins are in a tough situation. They NEED to keep Mauer around at any price given his importance to the club, but they have to be careful not to give out a contract that will severely hurt the Twins down the road.

What do you think?
