Any 2 of the Utley/Rollins/Howard trio would be next on my list as well. If I were playing in a Fastpitch Beerleague, I could make a solid case for Braun and Fielder.
You could throw Cole Hamels into that Utley/Rollins/Howard group.Any 2 of the Utley/Rollins/Howard trio would be next on my list as well. If I were playing in a Fastpitch Beerleague, I could make a solid case for Braun and Fielder.
Not enough power, already mid-career for both. Thanks for playing.
Best answer in the thread, but I am still partial to Braun/Fielder.Hanley has enough power, coupled with his speed to come close to convincing me.
Not convinced on the Rockies.Mauer will have to switch positions eventually, but they are nice in Minnesota, just not as good as the Brewers.Martinez and Sizemore don't cut it for me - I am not trading Braun/Fielder for them.
Wright/Reyes might be ok, but they both seem to be very streaky - they too are young and deserve consideration in the thread....

Now....if Cabrera really averaged 69 HR and 261 RBI per year this would be case closed.
Why would you be more convinced on the Brewers than the Rocks? Holliday is the most proven of the bunch, and Tulowitski is a great defender, in addition to his offensive contributions. As for Mauer, I think you could say the same of Braun. Mauer woudn't move because he's a liability either, merely as a means to preserve production, but Braun's D needs work, and Prince will need the DH within 5-6 years. He's a butcher who likes to eat. Not to knock your guys though, they are both fun to watch and up there in this discussion. But my thinking is, the upgrade and importence of the defense from the other combos might be compelling.
Verlander/Granderson
I was trying to put another pitcher with Verlander but I see nothing wrong with that.Beckett/Papelbon ??
Verlander/Zumaya?
While quite good, Mauer has to prove to me that he can consistantly play a healthy 150 games a year for me to consider him valuable.
Crawford/Upton might be in the discussion after next year....Crawford/Upton or Crawford/Young
I like Holliday and Tulowitzki, but their home/road splits clearly leave them out of the discussion.
Reading comprehension lessons. We are supposed to be discussing everyday players.....
I think we have a winner, but maybe go Upton Young. That will be some duo to watch.Crawford/Upton or Crawford/Young
