There have been quite a few dynamic duos throughout history and pop culture–Batman and Robin, The Lone Ranger and Tonto, Wayne and Garth, Hall and Oates, etc.
Baseball is no different.
It’s almost impossible for an offense to be successful in a 162-game season without at least two talented bats in the lineup.
A lot of offseason moves broke up some of the more dominant duos from 2010.
Evan Longoria and Carlos Pena in Tampa, Dan Uggla and Hanley Ramirez in Florida and Adam Dunn and Ryan Zimmerman in Washington are no more.
Other moves created new powerful partnerships, like Adam Dunn and Paul Konerko with the Chicago White Sox and Ryan Zimmerman and Jayson Werth on the Washington Nationals.
With spring training beginning this week and lineups starting to take shape, it’s becoming clear which duos will be amongst the best in 2011.
