Prospectors Anonymous 30% Power Rankings

• First things first, welcome Randy McCallum to the league!  We've yet to discover if you know anything about fantasy baseball, but at least you're active, which is more than the previous owner.
• The points listed here are adjusted to account for quality start percentage rather than quality starts.  Despite the fact that not everybody reached 200 QS's last year, it's safe to assume that all the owners here are able to do so, so it doesn't really matter if they get there in July or on the last day of the season.  The worksheet for QS% is listed after the power rankings.
• Half the battle in this league is getting as many at-bats as possible.  It's not a coincidence that the team in first has the most at-bats (2601) and the team with the least (2159) is in last place.
• Onto the rankings!  Best and worst move is based solely on what that player has done so far for his team.  Number in parenthesis is the change in points from the last power rankings.

The Elite

1. Staten Island Yankees - 195 (+30)
  His reign of terror will hopefully be over soon but he's earned the top spot for now.

  Best move: Lyle Overbay- 6 HR, 3 GWRBI
  Worst move:  J.B. Shuck- .211 AVG, .513 OPS in 19 at-bats.

2. Brooklyn Cyclones - 189.5 (+21)
  It's time to accept Carmine's not going anywhere.

  Best move: Freddy Galvis - .340 AVG, .906 OPS in 53 at-bats.
  Worst move: Brendan Harris - .148 AVG, .401 OPS in 27 at-bats.

3. F-M Redhawks - 182.5 (+36)

  My offense got off to a slow start but has been doing much better lately.
  Best move: Travis Wood- 9 QS, 4 W, 2.24 ERA, 0.91 WHIP
  Worst move: Octavio Dotel - 5 ER in 0.2 IP

The Contenders

4. Alburquerque Isotopes - 159.5 (+15)
  He's probably only a closer and a solid bat away from joining the elite.
  Best move: Rick Ankiel- 2 HR, .370 AVG, 1.208 OPS in 27 at-bats.
  Worst move: dropping Pedro Florimon- 6 SBN, 2 HR
  

5. Salt Lake Bees - 151 (+17.5)
  Elite pitching but struggling offense, which is opposite from last year's team.
  Best move: Hector Santiago- 31 K, 2.96 ERA in 27.1 IP.
  Worst move: Xavier Paul- .217 AVG, .504 OPS in 46 at-bats.

6. Nashville Sounds -  148.5 (-37)  Slowly regressing after a hot start.
  Best move: Luke Hochevar- 7 K's, 0 BB, 1 ER, 1 SV in 7.2 IP.
  Worst move: Hector Rondon- 7.94 ERA, 1.76 WHIP in 5.2 IP

7. Reno Aces - 144.5 (+50)
  Jerry sure loves pitching, but he'll have to find some offensive depth soon.
  Best move: Tanner Scheppers- 5 HD, 1.13 ERA, 0.88 WHIP in 16 IP.
  Worst move: dropping Jordan Schafer- 4 SBN, .309 AVG, .860 OPS in 68 at-bats.

8. Mobile Baybears - 139.5 (-10)
    Mike hasn't made a move since April 13th and the only moves of significance that he's made were calling up Gyorko and Peralta, which I don't count since they weren't free agents that anybody could have picked up.  Despite the lack of moves, he's holding his own.

9. Cedar Rapids Kernels - 133.5 (-10)
  I think he's gotten a bit unlucky.  His guys seem to only hit well when they're on his bench.
  Best move: Kevin Correia - 4 QS, 3 W, 3.47 ERA, 1.29 WHIP in 46.2 IP.
  Worst move: Hiram Burgos- 10 ER in 3 IP

10. Augusta GreenJackets - 126.5 (-10)

  Mike is somehow first in RBI while being pretty mediocre in most everything else.
  Best move: Jerry Hairston- 1 HR, .333 AVG, 1.278 OPS in 9 at-bats.
  Worst move: Alex Gonzalez- .155 AVG, .434 OPS in 58 at-bats.


11. Montgomery Biscuits - 133 (+25.5)
  Rob is on pace for 240 GS and consequentially his pitching ratios are horrible.
  Best move: Mike Dunn- 4 HD, 1.26 ERA, 1.12 WHIP, 3.25 K/BB in 14.1 IP.
  Worst move: Brandon Maurer- 6 ER in 0.2 IP.

12. Lowell Spinners - 116 (-13.5)
  Offense might be warming up slightly, but he has a lot of ground to make up.
  Best move: D.J. LeMahieu- 1.111 OPS in 9 at-bats and just earned Rockies starting 2B job
  Worst move: Steve Pearce- .056 AVG, .206 OPS in 18 at-bats.

The Pretenders

13. Lehigh Valley IronPigs - 101.5 (-81)
  Ferris is last in HR, RBI, K, QS, and HD; and his Facebook activity seems to be down as well.
  Best move: Kevin Gregg- 0 ER, 2 SV, but it should be 6.
  Worst move: dropping Rob Brantley- .375 AVG, 900 OPS in 32 at-bats for Redhawks.

14. Toledo Mud Hens - 88 (-20.5)
  It's only a matter of time before he passes Sam.
  Best move: Dropping Alex Gonzalez so Prymula could pick him up.
  Worst move: J.A. Happ- 4.78 ERA, 1.56 WHIP in 26.1 IP.

15. Kannapolis Intimidators - 93.5 (0)
   Sam seems to be less active than he was last year, or maybe he was just lucky last year.
   Best move: Tyler Cloyd- 1 QS, 1 W, 5 K
   Worst move: David Aardsma- stuck in minors

16. RancoCucamongo Quakes - 74 (-13.5)
   He appears to be catching up but it's just because he has more games started than anybody else.
   Best move: Brandon Barnes (Northrop)- 2 HR, 3 SBN, .333 AVG, .934 OPS in 39 at-bats.
   Worst move: Vance Worley- 8.03 ERA, 2.15 WHIP in 24.2 IP
