Fantasy Baseball 2012: Which Team Has the Top Fantasy Duo in 2012?

by Ray Guilfoyle on Nov 4, 2011 7:01 AM EDT in 2012 Fantasy Baseball Position Rankings

This one will be very short as I am fighting a head cold.

In my Wednesday morning post about Frank McCourt agreeing to sell the Dodgers, reader T.C.Engel proposed that if the Dodgers were to sign Prince Fielder this offseason, and Matt Kemp is doing his best to coax him, the Dodgers would have one of the top 3-4-5 hitters in baseball, behind only the Rangers and Yankees. He opined that a 3-4-5 of Matt Kemp, Prince Fielder and Andre Ethier would be very dangerous and be in the top 3 in all of baseball.

I am not an Andre Ethier fan, so I will leave him out of this post.

Let's assume the Dodgers get approval to spend a boatload of money this offseason, would a Kemp-Fielder combo in the middle of the Dodgers lineup rank in the top 3 in baseball? I can think of other top duos, and reader dudedudedude mentioned some good one in the same thread on Wednesday.

Here are a few he mentioned, along with a few others:

Dustin Pedroia/Adrian Gonzalez

Brett Lawrie/Jose Bautista

Robinson Cano/Curtis Granderson

Troy Tulowitzki/Carlos Gonzalez

Albert Pujols/Matt Holliday

Joey Votto/Jay Bruce

Josh Hamilton/Adrian Beltre

Mike Stanton/Hanley Ramirez

Who is the best fantasy duo?

Production would have to be Kemp/Fielder, but I think that Tulo/CarGo is probably a very close second due to Tulo being a shortstop.

my bad

Miggy is an excellent choice, but Vmart had a down power year this year. Still valuable though.

I disagree with that

Victor hit .330/.380/.470 which is a hell of a season from any position IMO, even if he does DH. The 12 home runs was really low which was weird, though.
