Being awarded the American League’s Most Valuable Player Award solidifies the obvious.Despite missing the first month of the season due to a back injury, he put together a solid season while setting career highs in numerous categories.His numbers are not eye popping. They are solid numbers from a teammate who led a club many wrote off once 2006 MVP Justin Morneau was shelved for the remainder of the season.What Mauer accomplished is what many a manager can only hope for from one of his players The 26-year-old catcher from St Paul, Minn. led a squad of players whose payroll was nearly half of the overwhelming favorite Detroit Tigers' and took them to the playoffs for the third time in the last six years.His league-leading .365 batting average won him his second-straight batting title.Heset career-best numbers inhome runs (26) and runs batted in (96).Those numbers were similar to the stats that won Mo Vaughn and Dustin Pedroia theirawards in 1995 and 2008.Mauer's overall ability was noticed by voters.Mauer received 27 of a possible 28 first place votes, handily defeating the New York Yankees' combo of Mark Teixeira and Derek Jeter.Morneaubelieves the best is yet to come for the catcher.

Some of the best players in the history of the game have won three batting titles in their whole career. We’re very lucky to be a part of it and watch him play. Ten years from now when we look back on it, we’ll say, ‘Wow this guy is one of the best to ever play the game.'" This article can also be found on The GM's Perspective.. After the 2005-2006 season, Aaron Kampman was coming off a career-best 6.5 sacks, giving him 13.5 for his four-year career. His sack totals had climbed steadily from 0.5 his rookie year as a fifth-round pick out of Iowa, to 2.0 the next year, and to 4.5 to 6.5 after 2005.He was a just serviceable DE going into his fifth season, and the Packers gave him a four-year $21 million extension. That may have been the best bargain the Pack made all decade.Kampman exploded in 2006, more than doubling his career total with 15.5 sacks, behind Shawne Merriman's 17.0 for the NFL lead.

The next year he totalled 12.5, and he notched 9.5 sacks in 2008. Now, he's suffered a torn ACL, an injury which may even keep him from being ready for the start of the 2010 season.So, what do the Packers do with KampmanThe three-four defense has shown potential this season. Clay Matthews is showing promise as a pass-rushing linebacker one one side, but Kampman was really nothing special.He's not good in coverage and struggles rushing the quarterback from a standing position. He's a pure defensive end, excelling at rushing from the hand-down position.Assuming the Packers stay with the three-four defense, there really is no place for Kampman here in Green Bay.What do you do with one of the best pass rushers in the NFL who has no place on your teamKampman has been, historically, a very durable player, not missing a game due to injury until this year. Here's betting that at least one NFL team will assume he returns full-strength and would be willing to trade a good draft pick or two for his pass-rushing prowess.The only problem is that the Kampman is a free agent at the end of the year, meaning they would have to sign him before they can get rid of him, which is potentially disastrous.Kampman won't come cheap, so if no team is willing to meet the Pack's demands, they'll be stuck overpaying for a player they have little use for.The Packers won't want to just let Kampman walk, but they won't want to sign him long term.
