On the bright side, you may find it easier to get tickets to Target Field. Hopefully I'm wrong, but the first 3 games have not brightened my mood.

Might as well get rid of Mourneau. He's worthless since he got hurt. Had 3 HRs in 90 games last year. Willingham will be a decent power hitter but not a 40 homer type of guy.

What prospects are you talking about? I don't believe they have any elite prospects.
I hate their strategy when it comes to developing pitchers. They keep drafting pitchers who's ceiling is a 3rd or 4th starter.

That's because you are a Twins fan or at least from the area and see them all the time. I'm not picking on you here, just saying it in general. Everyone I talk to thinks Twins players are better than they are because they know them more because they see them all the time.
I would not shop for Mauer if I was a GM. Way too much to pay for someone who is 29 and playing less and less catcher. He's still a great player, but not good enough to pay that much for.
