Your votes? and what is the best current 3-4 of today
Re: All Time best 3-4 Hitter Combo's
votto and jay bruce can be very interesting down the line
Re: All Time best 3-4 Hitter Combo's
i don't think bruce & votto will ever be that amazing.
Bonds/Kent
Ruth/Gehrig
probably the best 2, without looking at those exact seasons.
Re: All Time best 3-4 Hitter Combo's
I think Ruth/Gehrig is inarguably the best ever.
As for today, Pujols/Holliday, I guess, but that's mostly because of how awesome Pujols is.

that's what I think.
and I think A-Rod and Tex is probably about as great as you can ask for as well.
Re: All Time best 3-4 Hitter Combo's
Mauer and Morneau is deadly. You can't even neutralize them with LHP.
1. MM
2. TEX/Arod (switch hitter and a righty, two clutch, versatile cornerstone hitters)
3. Pujols/Holliday (Pujols/anyone is up here)
4. Utley/Howard (small park adds some)
5. Braun/Fielder (have yet to accomplish what the above guys have)
Re: All Time best 3-4 Hitter Combo's
You haven't mentioned Mcguire/ Canseco in '87-'89 ...........

Have to agree with OYF, But I have to give a shout out to Griffey & Martinez, because that was a beautiful thing (especially with Buhner on deck).
Currently, I'll take Pujols & Holliday (or whoever, Pujols is amazing).
Re: All Time best 3-4 Hitter Combo's
If Mauer can repeat, he and Morneau are down right amazing.
similar discussion.
greatest 1, 2 punch in a rotation?
Johnson and Schilling were beastly
Same with Drysdale and Koufax
Gibson and Carlton
Baltimore and Minnesota have had some elite top of the rotation type pitchers.
current day, I like
Wainwright and Carpenter
Linecum and Cain
Halladay and Happs, or whoever
Lackey and Beckett
Sabathia and Burnett
there are several good one's....name your favorites
Re: All Time best 3-4 Hitter Combo's
Lincecum/Cain
Wainwright/Carpenter
Felix/Lee
If you take health/league in to consideration then I'd bump Felix/Lee up past Wainwright/Carpenter.
Re: All Time best 3-4 Hitter Combo's
All-time, Johnson/Schilling off the top of my head.
Currently, I'll take Felix/Lee.
Re: All Time best 3-4 Hitter Combo's
can't believe I forgot about Lee/Felix
Re: All Time best 3-4 Hitter Combo's
Ruth/Gehrig
noone else is clise. Maybe A-RoD/Poo-Holes but they are not together lol
Randy/Curt were just plan SCARY
