Mauer will be in home run derby: Joe Mauer's sudden power has earned him a place in baseball's home run derby. Mauer accepted an invitation Friday to participate in the popular All-Star week event Monday night in St. Louis. The Twins catcher will try to pick up where teammate Justin Morneau left off last year. Mauer, fondly remembering the days of playing home run derby in the backyard against his buddies, was more than happy to take part. "I don't really go up there and try to hit home runs all the time, but we'll just have some fun with it and see what happens," said Mauer, who has hit 15 of his 59 career home runs since coming off the disabled list on May 1.

Fantasy Analysis

Mauer's smooth, short left-handed swing is one of the purest in baseball, helping him win two AL batting titles and take over the league lead in hitting again this summer with a .389 average entering Friday's game against the White Sox. "He told me it was a single-up-the-middle contest, and that's why he's doing it," manager Ron Gardenhire joked. Mauer remains the top Fantasy catcher and that shouldn't change after the break.
