Twins general manager Terry Ryan said he has no injury concerns about Joe Mauer and deems him "100 percent and ready to go." Mauer essentially declared himself totally healthy last month, and it sounds like the Twins back up the assessment. "He's fine," Ryan said. "I don't have any concerns about Mauer. From everybody that I've talked to, he's 100 percent and ready to go." Mauer is coming off an injury-plagued, disappointing season, but he did bat .314/.393/.416 in the second half after finally appearing to get his health and timing back.
