are we talking most intimidating or the best? as good a season mauer had last year, i still think the twins 3-4 punch is a notch below the other 4. as for the other 4...flip a 4 sided coin. you really cant go wrong with any of them.

[AquaMan2342]

1. Pujols - Holliday - 3rd only because Pujols is baseball's best player

2. Teixeira - Rodriguez - Second best, but basically interchangeable w/Braun and Prince

3. Braun - Fielder- I'd actually take these two over the rest to be honest

4. Utley - Howard - I'll pass, 4th

5. Mauer - Morneau - Not quite on the same level

Where is Heyward? He's a generational player and doesn't need a caddie with him.

To me it's clearly Pujols/Holliday. Pujols has a career OPS of 1.055 and he's only been below that twice in the last 8 years! Holliday has a career OPS of 0.932 and he's maintained that or above for 3 1/2 years (I'm obviously excluding his debacle in Oakland).

Whereas Fielder/Braun have had career OPS of 0.931 and 0.937, and these numbers are over a shorter period of time.

There is no doubt that both tandems are excellent offensive players, but Pujols/Holliday certainly beat out the Milwaukee boys. And if we were to measure them as complete ballplayers, both offensively and defensively, then there really is no argument at all.

1. Heyward - Anyone on the Braves
2. Pujols - Holliday
3. Teixeira - Rodriguez
4. Braun - Fielder
5. Utley - Howard
6. Mauer - Morneau

Hmmm, I know Holliday finished hot last year but his career numbers away from Coors Field make me shy away from the Pujols-Holliday combo. Pujols is clearly the most feared hitter in the game. I would have to say Teixeira and Rodriguez but that whole lineup is scary so its not just the 3 and 4 hitters were worried about here. The Phillies lineup is also pretty jam packed with talent. But when you face the Brewers, you do nothing but dread those 3-4 hitters... So I would have to say Braun/Fielder has to be the most intimidating in my opinion. I think Holliday is a little overrated but Pujols-Holliday are a close 2nd.

Most intimidating has to be Braun and Fielder. Braun has freaky huge eyes and Fielder is 400 lbs.
The best 3-4 hitters are Pujols and Holliday.
