To me, the Braves tandem has no place on this list as they are the oldest pair and Chipper can't man third base for his life. As for the Marlins and the Mets--the best pair--the thing that really stands out are the respective ages: 23, 24 each, while A-Rod and Jeter are 31 and 32 respectively. That alone disqualifies them, not to mention their contracts... Cabrera gets no love for some reason but the kid is PUJOLS-lite and Hanley's performance last season was so underrated compared to Reyes when they basically did the same thing while Hanley is 6-months younger and 3 inches taller, projecting for more power than Reyes in their Peak years. If you ask me, I go with Marlins over Mets by a hair if I were building a franchise. The only scenario where I might not take the Marlins would be for the 2007 season where I'd go Yankees, but that's pretty much it. wow, can’t believe anyone would say ‘how can you even include the Marlins in there,’ or ‘yankees no question’ so easily.
