Power Rankings
Updated 6/27/11
| Rank | Team | Trend | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 |  | + 2 | 97.55 | Okay, okay, Brett Gardner wasn't a fluke in 2010. Just stop referencing the +40 UZR in left field for chrissakes. Sometimes, sabremetrics are like a loaded gun in the hands of a 6-year-old. |
| 2 |  | -1 | 97.43 | Holliday/Lee/Hamels/Oswalt: best rotation in the 21st century thus far. |
| 3 |  | + 9 | 96.81 | The panic in the early going seems silly in hindsight. And, not to sound like an elitist prick, but it seemed silly back then, too. |
| 4 |  | + 2 | 93.40 | |
| 5 |  | + 11 | 90.41 | The Sam Fuld hysteria is mercifully over. It had hit rock bottom when Heidi Watney was interviewing him and using his name in Chuck Norris / Bill Brasky jokes. |
| 6 |  | -1 | 90.37 | |
| 7 |  | -5 | 89.11 | Is it OK for me to not like Josh Hamilton now? Or does that still make me a terrorist? If so, then (raising a scimitar) "yiyiyiyiyiyiyiyiyi!!" |
| 8 |  | + 6 | 85.98 | |
| 9 |  | + 1 | 85.94 | Zack Greinke is perhaps the unluckiest pitcher in baseball, with a 4.77 ERA but a 2.30 FIP (second to only Roy Halladay). |
| 10 |  | + 5 | 85.77 | |
| 11 |  | -7 | 84.90 | 1-5 without Pujols. They'll lose a few more over the next few weeks. |
| 12 |  | -4 | 83.66 | |
| 13 |  | 0 | 83.31 | Memo to Mike Scioscia: just because Vernon Wells makes $23 million this year (!) doesn't mean that you necessarily have to play him. |
| 14 |  | + 3 | 82.00 | |
| 15 |  | + 4 | 81.95 | |
| 16 |  | -5 | 80.59 | Justin Masterson (54.3 GB %) is now the ace down in Cleveland. Good for him. |
| 17 |  | + 4 | 79.50 | |
| 18 |  | -11 | 79.09 | Every single starter in Oakland's lineup has an OPS+ under 100. |
| 19 |  | + 4 | 77.91 | |
| 20 |  | + 4 | 76.72 | |
| 21 |  | -1 | 75.62 | |
| 22 |  | -13 | 75.60 | We've been waiting for Hanley to start hitting, and it has yet to happen. As a result, the Fish are in a bit of a hole. |
| 23 |  | -1 | 74.10 | |
| 24 |  | + 6 | 73.73 | |
| 25 |  | + 4 | 72.97 | If the crowds at PNC this weekend are any indication, the bandwagon is starting to fill up. |
| 26 |  | -8 | 70.57 | |
| 27 |  | -1 | 70.34 | |
| 28 |  | -3 | 68.30 | |
| 29 |  | -2 | 65.49 | |
| 30 |  | -2 | 62.57 |

[...] Power Rankings [...]
Since you’re already going to the Chris Creamer site for logos, you should use old school logos (or as OS as you can get with some teams). That would be quite quirking!
I definitely plan on doing that at some point later. I was short on time yesterday, so I went all modern…but the old logos will certainly be making an appearance here.
Who says you don’t listen to the fans?
fantastic this The House That Dewey Built ยป Power Rankings is really interesting to see
Good ranking. There must be a little twist though. Are there any changes yet?
Don’t you recognize that it’s high time to get the loan, which will help you.
Well, Detroit just lost Victor Martinez for the year -so maybe a revision is in order for those guys.
