The Top Hitting Duos from BOMBS and RIBBIES combined in the SHOW....is it MIGGY and PRINCE of the D...or TROUT and EL HOMBRE of the HALOS...or even JOSH and BELTRE of the RANGERS....who is the TOP Duo in the SHOW? A CUP of JOE in the SHOW Report #171

In most cases Teams don't have the Luxury in the Show of growing Natural 3-4 Hitters through the Organization and when they get to the Show they do Damage. Offenses run on them, Pitchers hate them, and Managers when they have a Duo that is Young and can help put longevity to their Job as the Manager of that Team.

Most Teams who have a Great 3-4 Hitting Duo will, have a Leader in RBI's, Bomb', and/ or Batting Average to boot. In 2012 there was a few Good Duos in the Show and some of them Duo's will be on display in MLB Playoff Baseball.

The Top Duo's in the Show in Combined Bomb's and Ribbies for 2012 is sponsored by Protection in the Lineup is Key. Not Insurance but the #5 Hitter is the One they don't want to get to as well as facing the #3 Hitter so #3 gets a lot of Pitches to hit. Pitchers know you can't pitch around these Duo's all Year or your Productive Season from the Bump is out the Window.

Miggy and Prince are Dynamite and with Cabrera running up on the AL Triple Crown makes Prince's Numbers even more dynamic hitting behind Cabrera...

Hamilton slowed down in the 2nd Half but Beltre picked up the slack and they were a 2-Man Wrecking Crew and the Rangers are in a bid for their 3rd Straight Fall Classic Appearance...

Braun lost Prince but had Aramis and Corey Hart behind him and had another MVP Type Season with Aramis and Corey putting up Numbers as well...

Posey is an NL MVP Candidate and they get Pence last Season from the Phils to get more Offense in the Line Up. The Melk Man gets suspended and the Giagntes haven't skipped a Beat with P&P and Panda Smash Sandoval doing the Offensive Work for the Gigantes...

With the Lance Berkman injured and the Gateway Arch Hammer Albert Pujols gone the Redbirds found another Duo with the resurgence of Carlos Beltran and Cool Hand Luke Matt Holliday...

The Halos were depended on Big Money Free Agent El Hombre Albert Pujols and they get Big-Time Production from Two unlikely Sources and One in Mike Trumbo and the Other AL MVP Candidate Mike Trout. Yes the Halos won't get to Post Season in 2012 but 2013 looks awfully bright...
