I don't see the Twins moving Mauer for another couple years. I think people would go into an uproar if they moved him here in Minnesota. I don't know about Redmond being our starting catcher, but if he's it; I sure wouldn't be complaining.

As for Punto DHing, I wouldn't like that. I think that we could easily get a better DH than Punto. However, Punto is excellent in the field. Why not just stick Mauer at DH and make him the DH for the Twins. I know he is great in the field, but why not make him the backup catcher. He could play forever if he was DH 100% of the time. Of course, I'm sure he would hate it though, he's just to modest.
