Pre-Season Power Rankings Part II

11) Arizona Splashdogs (AL) - 88 - 74 last season. Arizona has played bridesmaid to the Slobs in the AL West for the past three seasons. Arizona is a talented team that is primed to knock off the aging Slobs for the AL West.

12) Toronto Blue Jays (AL) - 88 - 74 last season. The Blue Jays have been one of the most powerful teams in the AL, winning AL North titles in seasons 2, 3, an 5. Will they be the team to beat this year in AL North? It could be tough in a division with a very good Twins team, experienced owner wylie715 taking over the team formerly known as the Ron Pauls, and the solid Barracudas all in the same division.

13) Salem Mayhem (NL) - 89 - 73 last season. Under weo49's superb management the Mayhem have won two division titles since he took over in season 5. They undoubtedly will be one of the strongest teams in the division, but do they have what it takes to get past NL powerhouses like the Reds, Marlins, and Cubs?

14) Salt Lake City Multiple Spouses (AL) - 90 - 72 last season. They deserve the award for the team with longest name. Wylie715 takes over after going through 6 owners in 6 seasons. Last season they deserved the most improved team. Will Wylie715 have the level of success they had last season? Wylie715 is an experienced owner, so they should be a contender in the AL.

15) Milwaukee Brewers (NL) - 88 - 74 last season. The Brewers play in arguably one of the strongest divisions in the league. Last season was tough for the Brewers. Last season they won 8 fewer games than season 5, and missed the playoffs after five straight playoff appearances. They have a young (one of the youngest teams in the NL) and talented team, so they should be back in the hunt in season 7.
