Mayo: Top 10 prospect duos in the Minor Leagues

Forget about Batman and Robin. It’s time to talk about some real dynamic duos.

Not long ago, Jim Callis took a look at the best Minor League teams, with the most stacked rosters, in baseball. But which teams have the best pairs of prospects in the Minors? Let’s take a closer look.

3. Braves: Sean Newcomb and Ozzie Albies, Mississippi (23) Newcomb, the key part of the return in the Andrelton Simmons deal, has been very tough to hit in his first two Double-A …
