Dynamic duos

One thing we've seen in fantasy baseball is that managers like to grab two big hitters from the same team.

Last year, Bob rode Prince Fielder and Ryan Bruan to a title. Ken had Adam Dunn and Ryan Zimmerman. Andy had Ryan Howard and Chase Utley. Both Andy and Ken made the playoffs.


This year, it's more of the same. Let's take a look at the teams with a power punch of dynamic duos.

Andy - Ryan Howard and Chase Utley; Adam Lind and Alex Gonzalez. So far, the Phillies' duo has carried Andy's league-leading offense.

Bob - Ryan Zimmerman and Adam Dunn; Prince Fielder and Ryan Braun. So far, both of these duos haven't lived up to expectations. Dunn and Fielder have been terrible.

Chris - Robbie Cano and Derek Jeter. Not the Yankees' two top sluggers, but these two have been New York's best two hitters so far. Chris is thriving because of it.

Dave - Raul Ibanez and Jimmy Rollins and Shane Victorino; Stephen Drew and Kelly Johnson. Not exactly the Fantastic Five..

Jack - Troy Tulowitzki and Ian Stewart. Stewart has outperformed Tulowitzki by a lot, something I'm sure Jack is not happy about.

Joe - Victor Martinez and Marco Scutaro; Carlos Lee and Lance Berkman; Juan Pierre and Alex Rios. Not the two Red Sox I'd want on my team - and he's a Yankees fan. Joe hopes Lee benefits from Berkman's return.

Mike - Placido Polanco and Jayson Werth; Ian Kinsler and Vlad Guerrero. Polanco turning into Ted Williams has kept Mike afloat with Ian Kinsler on the DL.

Rick - Hideki Matsui and Kendry Morales and Howie Kendrick. All three have had nice starts and likely will continue their steadiness.

Shea - Alex Rodriguez and Curtis Granderson; Geovany Soto and Alfonso Soriano. Nothing too special from A-Rod so far. Granderson has been nice. No comment about someone having two Cubs on his team...
