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...
how about votes for the worst pairing/trio?
ReplyDeletePierre/Rios gets my vote in a landslide.
Those two cubs are hitting about .330 combined heebs and have a ton of walks...I would like to change my vote!
ReplyDeleteCongrats, you've become the first person who's ever been excited over two players giving him a ton of walks in this league.
