MLB Power Rankings: Week 2
Same deal as last week. Rank the teams from 1 to 30 with as little bias as possible (definitely not an easy task).
1: Rangers LW: 2
18-3 is amazing, even against the struggling Red Sox.
2: Tigers LW: 1
Only fell due to the Rangers looking amazing.
3: Cardinals LW: 3
Quietly skating to a 9-3 record.
4: Nationals LW: 12
Ian Desmond is playing stellar at short.
5: Yankees LW: 4
Somebody get Jeter a long-term contract!
6: Dodgers LW: 11
Not higher than this due to the dearth of games against my bottom 5 teams.
7: Rays LW: 6
Still in a little bit of a rut to start the year.
8: Braves LW: 18
Playing great outside of the first series versus the Mets.
9: Blue Jays LW: 8
A team that should make the playoffs, but probably won't because 4 of the top 12 teams are in their division.
10: Diamondbacks LW: 5
A little too high on the D-backs last week.
11: Mets LW: 14
Mets coming down to earth some, and anyone can contend in the wide-open NL East (where the Phillies are last)!
12: Orioles LW: 19
Starting to believe in my division-leading O's.
13: Brewers LW: 13
I've jumped off the "Hate the Brewers" bandwagon. The boos aren't getting to Braun like I thought.
14: Phillies LW: 9
The talent is there, the wins so far are not.
15: Angels LW: 7
It's not just Pujols, there's just something a little off about this team. Wouldn't be shocked if they missed the playoffs (would be shocked if they won the AL West).
16: Giants LW: 16
Starting to get a little bit worried about Lincecum.
17: Marlins LW: 21
7-6, but the playoff prospects look dim.
18: White Sox LW: 25
Played very well against my Tigers. Not so much against my O's.
19: Mariners LW: 20
This team is better than most think, even if they stack up wins against the A's.
20: Reds LW: 10
Oh, my World Series pick. What's happening?
21: Red Sox LW: 17
Valentine isn't connecting with the team, and the bullpen is a disaster.
22: Indians LW: 22
I feel the Indians are very blah, except for the eventful game in KC earlier this week.
23: Rockies LW: 27
Jamie Moyer! He could solidly be a grandfather with no raised eyebrows.
24: Royals LW: 15
Watching them against Detroit, they looked terrible. Not really terrible, but not the 2nd place team I thought before the season.
25: Athletics LW: 24
What's the moneyline on Cespedes getting traded. -300?
26: Pirates LW: 23
To think they're 5th to last in my rankings and only 3rd to last in the NL Central here. That tells you something about how gaudy the Cardinals' record will look come September.
27: Astros LW: 28
I'm not sure anybody suspected anything more from these guys.
28: Twins LW: 29
The Twins move up a spot! It's a miracle! This team still has Mauer and Morneau, they should be higher.
29: Cubs LW: 26
Garza is great. The rest of the roster, not so much.
30: Padres LW: 30
The Padres hang on to the bottom spot. Only reason I care about these guys is because Chase Headley is on my fantasy team.
That's all for now!
