43% Power Rankings


  • Bharat is still holding on to the lead, but it's definitely a lot smaller of a lead than the one that Heff had at this point last season.  One bad day by Bharat and one good day from either Carmine or I, and we could have a new leader.
  • J.B. has a pretty firm grasp on fourth place, but fifth through eleventh is ridiculously close!  One smart move could be the difference between a top five finish and finishing in the basement.
  • Outside of Randy, everybody has been really good at not getting too far ahead of pace with games started, but Joshua Little, Sam Miller, and Chris Ferris are going to have to step things up if they want to compete this year.
  • First number in parenthesis is the change in rank, and the second number is the change in points.
1.  Staten Island Yankees: 196.5 (0, +1.5)
  Bharat's gap has widened over the last couple days, but it's nothing compared to Heff's 48 point lead at this point last year.  Hopefully Jason Grilli can start to regress to his career averages and stop making me look like a fool.

2.  Fargo-Moorhead Redhawks: 182 (+1, -0.5)
  My team continues to get unlucky with GWRBI, but hopefully my luck will even out like it did last year.

3.  Brooklyn Cyclones: 181.5 (-1, -8)
  It's pretty impressive that Carmine is leading in all three pitching ratios, something I don't think has happened before.

4.  Salt Lake Bees: 171 (+1, +20)
  It's about time to call this a four-horse race.  J.B. continues to climb in the standings thanks to the two hottest players in baseball, Kyle Blanks and Carlos Gonzalez.  Oddly enough, I could have easily owned both of them.

5.  Cedar Rapids Kernels: 148.5 (+4, +15)
  Heff continues to climb back up the standings after a rough start, and with the lineup he has he should be able to keep rising.

6.  Nashville Sounds: 150.5 (0, +2)
  With Anibal Sanchez going down, Josh is going to have to find another starter.  It's very possible he falls five spots before the next rankings, but he leads the tier for now.

7.  Lowell Spinners: 148 (+5, +32)
  Justin's only closer at the moment is Vinnie Pestano, who has only received one save and will most likely lose the job when Perez returns, so he's going to have to improve his bullpen if he wants to get any higher.

8.  Augusta GreenJackets: 136 (+2, +9.5)
  I could have picked either of the next three instead, but I chose Michael because he's not ahead of pace and Jose Reyes should be a big boost for the offense.

9.  Reno Aces: 137 (-2, -7.5)
  I'm baffled at JD's desire to roster nine RP-eligible guys for only five spots, but I shouldn't be surprised as he's always loaded up on pitching.

10. Albuquerque Isotopes: 135.5 (-6, -24)
  His offense has been serviceable, but his pitching has really dropped off as of late.  David Hernandez and Matt Moore will have to turn things around or Brandon's struggles will likely continue.

11. Mobile Baybears: 133 (-3, -6.5)
  He's got just as good of a chance as any of the three above him but somebody had to go here.  Pitching is fine, but he's going to need another bat or two.

12.  Montgomery Biscuits: 108 (-1, -25)
  It's just not Rob's year.  Injuries to Tulowitzki, Braun, Sandoval, and Price have likely led to a rebuild year for Rob.  I'm not saying it's over yet, but he's going to need these guys to get back very soon!

13.  Toledo Mud Hens: 95 (+1, +7)
   If it wasn't for stolen bases, wins, ERA, and WHIP; Tom would be doing just fine!  Eh, we'd probably need to throw out the rest of the pitching categories as well.  Liriano has been shockingly great, but the rest of the pitching rotation has been a major disappointment.

14. Kannapolis Intimidators: 91.5 (+1, -2)
15. Lehigh Valley IronPigs: 83 (-2, -18.5)
16. RanchoCucuamonga Quakes: 79 (0, +5)
