Mauer - Not Mr. Clutch

 

Will Joe Mauer ever get a BIG hit? For a guy hitting in the high .360's I can't remember the last clutch hit he has had to tie a game late or take the lead for that matter. Great numbers overall but I am still waiting for a stretch where continually comes up with a clutch hit. Can anyone help me out there? Maybe I am wrong but I always find myself saying "what a big hit by Morneau, Kubel, Cuddyer or Span to turn the game around".
