Week 8 1/2 power rankings

These will be the last regular season power rankings.  I'll try to do something fun for the playoffs.


Jacksonville        1.225    Spent the entire season #1 in the Power Rankings, but may not have the starting pitching to win the WS

Columbus           1.775    Getting hot at just the right time.  Probably 50/50 to catch Jax for the overall #1 seed

Montreal            3.6        It took long enough, but they are finally the team I projected them to be

Milwaukee         3.675    I didn't see them coming, but as the #4 team they are a threat to win the WS

Pawtucket          6.45      Clearly they didn't get the memo that the NL East must always have the top 3 teams in the rankings

San Francisco     6.55      Dark horse to win the WS, but don't bet against them with that pitching

Oakland              7.575    Lowest ranked team that should have any chance to win the WS

Honolulu            8.875    Best team that should not win the World Series, but also could miss playoffs

Pittsburgh          9.275    Close race in the AL East, but both teams should make the playoffs

Boston  9.575    Close race in the AL East, but both teams should make the playoffs

Tacoma 10.05    Not an elite team, but will make the playoffs and get a chance to repeat

Richmond           13.525  Likely AL South champ

Texas    13.85    Likely NL South champ

Montgomery     13.875  Will not get a chance repeat as AL champion with a big comeback

Los Angeles        14         Impressive season from Jadd Tellet

Colorado            14.95    Sam Stock continues to abuse the system.  ERA up .75 this season.  I'm not a fan.

Baltimore           15.55    Picked the wrong division to be in :)

Florida  16.875  Ezdra will have to get busy to get to 100 steals again

San Juan             17.3      Coming into the season I thought 3000 hits and 500 home runs was a 50/50 possibility.  Now it is a certainty.

Salem    19.775  Arthur Taylor has 56 steals in 56 tries

Kansas City        20.8      Decent season despite their owner's limitations

Las Vegas           21.05    If I am writing a trade value column Gregg Stock is #1!

Hartford             21.725  Might win multiple minor league world series championships

Scottsdale          22.7      Did you know that Dillon Mays has over 200 wins?  Me either.

Chicago 24.775  A franchise kind of stuck in no man's land

Toledo  25.7      Could make a major jump up next season

Cincinnati           27.5      Perennial contender hits hard times

New Orleans      27.625  Huge leap forward for the rebuild and will win enough to stick around

New York           28.525  Not as bad as their record.  Still very bad, but hey, #1 farm system!

Philadelphia       28.55    Better than last year, but still at risk of not making the MWR

Wichita 30.525  Despite claims and efforts to the contrary, already has enough wins to come back

Oklahoma City  31.85    #1 in your heart and #1 in the draft.  Must win 3 more games.
