The Loneliest Number
Allow me to adjust my rose-colored glasses for a second.
As we approach Opening Day, practically every baseball-related website will be issuing their rankings and predictions for the 2007 season. CBS Sportline is one of my personal favorite go-to websites for MLB analysis and news, and they issued their pre-season Power Rankings today.
At #1 are the Boston Red Sox, closely followed by the Nyuk-Nyuks at #2. Rounding out the top 5 are Detroit, the Mets, and Philly (the “east coast bias” camp should really appreciate this).
Of course, the other baseball heavyweights on the internet (ESPN, CNNSI, Prospectus, ect…) should be issuing their rankings soon, and could all disagree with the CBS ranking.
Still, it is somewhat refreshing to know that at least one high-profile site likes the Sox on paper, even with their question marks.
