Lee/ARam

[wayne1218]

I'm thinking Baltimore has one with Markakis and someone else. Anaheim with Torii Hunter and who? Houston with Carlos Lee and who, Pence maybe?

I would do Boston with Bay/Youkilis

[kbsooner21]

Lee/Berkman

[kbsooner21]

Markakis/Adam Jones?

[wayne1218]

Lee/Berkman

That's right, Berkman. That's a good one!!!

[ogarza]

No way. Shouldn't even make the list. Kemp? Seriously??

Well I was just making suggestions, but YES I am serious...not sure it matters if they bat back to back...cuz it makes no sense for Torre to put Kemp in the 7th 8th or 9 hole but tell me which player you prefer Wayne

A- 50 runs 81 hits 18 hrs 55 rbis 6 sbs .273 avg

B- 57 runs 113 hits 13 hrs 55 rbis 21 sbs .314 avg

C- 61 runs 87 hits 17 hrs 57 rbis 4 sbs .291 avg

I'm thinking the best 3-4 or 4-5 hitters. If you use the 3rd and 7th hitters, it's really not a 1-2 punch at that point. I like Kemp and i have him on my fantasy team. He doesn't deserve to be on this list with these guys. I'm sorry but no way.

Not the guy with 13 HR's.

[kbsooner21]

Give me guy D. Now who did I pick?

[wayne1218]

Give me guy D. Now who did I pick?

Me too. If you are talking 1-2 punch, simply put, it is about the fear of "Power", not singles or doubles. Go back to Ortiz & Ramirez or go way back to McGuire & Canseco ... or Braun & Fielder or whoever. The best 1-2 punch in batters has to be the best combo who puts fear in the opposing pitcher. Guys like Kemp do not put fear in pitchers like the others do.

[wayne1218]

I know B is Kemp, i think C is Youkilis and D is Pena. Not sure about A yet.

[wayne1218]

A might be Adam Jones?

[ogarza]

A might be Adam Jones?

A-berkman
B-kemp
C-Youk
D-Pena

I might be in the minority here but id prefer a guy with Kemp's ability than I guy who hits HRs or nothing ala Pena...25 bombs but a .260 avg not sure Id take that...youk and berkman having a bit of down years, especially Berkman he was downright awful to start the season and is currently on the DL...but I understand your train of thought

[Three Jack]

How can you NOT take Ortiz & Lowell?

When I went to the Yankee/Detroit game:

It was Marcus Thames
