    Looking forward to watching Colvin hit this year.

    Love Tulo, for the love of God, can he stay healthy all season.

    Markakis, Jones and Wieters can hurt you too.
    That trio is SF can rake too

    sportsguy....I live in Cincy, as there's no way the Reds have the scariest 3-4-5 punch in baseball. I wouldn't even say top 10.

    miggy scares the s____ out of me every at bat. angels are stacked. not scared of robinson cano. had one 30 hr year so far, big deal. granderson at home is a little scary. he can hit it out in new york pretty easy.

    Angels have Trout too, who is possibly their scariest hitter.

    I agree that Detroit and the Angels are the top 2. Nobody else is even close to them. I just have to go with the Angels because they have that fourth guy who is as scary as anybody.

    I was joking when I said this. But was looking at the NL stats for 2012 and for the NL it is kind of close to true.

    the better trio last year was Braun, Corey Hart, and Aram.


    for 2013 I could see McCutch, Pedro Alvarez, and the platoon of Garrett Jones/Gaby Sanchez being one of the NL's top producing 3-4-5's

    Maybe NL, not even top 5 in the entire league.

    that is why I said NL in that post.

    but i'll go on record saying they'll be top 4 in OPS and or WAR next year in all of MLB

    on the surface level maybe

    but for the sake of time let's just look at HR numbers

    from a cursory glance it looks like last year (regardless of batting order) there was ONE team with 3 guys hitting 30+ HR's

    the Angels with Trout 30, Pujols 30, Trumbo 32. They are adding Hamilton

    after that many teams had a great 1-2 punch but the Brewers and Pirates were the most close to have 3 guys with 30

    Pirates
    McCutch 31
    Alvarez 30
    Jones 27

    Brewers
    Braun 41
    Aram 27
    Hart 30

    like I said its cursory, I'll look closer at WAR and OPS tomorrow but given that McCutch and Alvarez are so young and Jones had limited ab's and will be joined by a platoon +ev split with righty Gabe Sanchez. I don't think it is Bold at all.

    its just under the radar. I mean who would think a team like Detroit with Fielder and Miggy would have a trio with 92 Hr's and the stinky Pirates have a trio with 88 using two players most people have never heard of????

    Meusel was #5 up until 1928 then it was Lazzeri at #5 so your both correct. The best 3,4,5 to me was Cochrane, Simmons & Foxx from 29-32. After WWII it was definitely Williams, Stephens & Doerr in 48 & 49.
