Those two were the key to the Twins decent run they had through the mid-00's. Mauer had three consecutive seasons with 30+ HRs then it seemed like he just disappeared as quickly as he came on.
Mauer had a great career, he just stopped hitting home runs and he played on bad teams that got no national attention.

Mauer never had even one 30 HR season (high of 28 in 2009 and never approached 20 HR a season in any other season). He hit for a high average, which is a plus for a catcher, but when he stopped catching, he became a first baseman/DH with no power kept on the roster only because he was a hometown boy.
