Mauer proving durability, hasn't been hurt for days.

With Spring Training heating up, the "when will Joe Mauer go down with a knee injury" pool is officially underway at Cold Omaha headquarters.

Formal workouts really haven't begun, so playing catch and shagging fly balls shouldn't put him in harm's way and so far...it hasn't. Mauer has shown some durability this year and the last few days of pain-free participation in drills should quiet the critics for now.

Here's hoping Mauer doesn't miss too much time this year and he threatens the team record for singles to left field.
